Page on launchpad website regarding bug reporting is a mile long, largely irrelevant for LTS console users, and impossible for newbs to use

[RedScourge]

If you are an intermediate linux user who is fairly new to Ubuntu and has chosen an LTS distro (no GUI), when you notice something wrong, it is pretty darn near impossible to report a bug.

There is one tiny link about 7 pages down on the Reporting Bugs page which is the right place to go, and half of the information before you get to it is completely irrelevant to you if you are an LTS user, so the chances are high that you'll not even bother to read the whole page and find the one tiny link in the entire page which takes you to where you need to be.

The webpage in question is:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1048776/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

I think this was fixed because I can't find where the reporter found this.
