Bug Description

The ubuntu-bug tool always assumes an xorg bug when I select "other".

For example, selecting "other problem" on the first screen and then "I don't know" will create an xorg bug report, even though I want to report another problem (e.g. grub).

The selection in the first screen apparently is not honored, which makes reporting bugs (including bugs about ubuntu-bug) quite difficult.

(Also, the launchpad package search dialog reports an "OOPS-xxx" error.)

I've never seen this bug myself but I have come across many bugs filed against xorg when they should clearly be filed against another package.
