Bug Description
It is confusing when a bug contains a request to fix it in a particular distribution, and also a request to fix it in a release of that distribution. For example:
Ubuntu (Confirmed)
Ubuntu 6.06 (Rejected)
One way to improve this would be print the word "specifically" after the distribution release name, where the bug also needs fixing in the distribution in general.
Another way would be to use a term like "mainline" or "development branch" after the distribution name, where the bug has also been nominated for fixing in one or more releases of that distribution.
