Per source package bug filing instructions
Some packages have specific instructions the maintainers would like to have followed when filing bugs. When a source package is selected as the target for a new bug, it would be very helpful if a link specific to the source package [or perhaps some wiki style text] was shown with the guidelines the submitter should follow. The specific case in point prompting this is the kernel bug team: they have a wiki document at https:/
Sabdfl suggested that these links/instructions could cascade. For instance, if Gnome has a filing link, and gnome-baker does too, you would see both filing a bug on the gnome-baker product. Ubuntu might have a global link, and then a specific one for each source package, and again, both would be shown when they are both present.

Whiteboard
Knocking off to 1.2.6 now that bug 43893 has superseded the primary intent of this. If it's not an issue by 1.2.6, please close off as obsolete.
2007-12-21 kamion: For the record, I don't think 43893 really addresses any of Ubuntu's requirements without being able to provide bug filing instructions for packages.
