Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Fill out a bug report, click on the 'no I need to fill a new bug report' button, and am greeted with a page containing:
<pre>"Please report bugs against xorg with this command:
  $ ubuntu-bug -p xorg"</pre>
however

using them creates

<pre>themusicgod1@Codd:~$ ubuntu-bug -p xorg
Warning: The options -p/-P are deprecated, please do not use them. See /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug --help</pre>

Solution: probably just remove the -p from the guideline descriptions.

Unfortunately the -p was required for the LTS which we still accept bugs on.
Launchpad does not provide any mechanism for giving release-specific bug reporting directions, so the simplest solution is to recommend -p's use despite the deprecation warning.

Changed in xorg (Ubuntu):
status: New → Won't Fix

Wouldn't it be possible to just replace it with

<pre>"Please report bugs against xorg with this command:
  $ ubuntu-bug -p xorg (for versions prior to 8.10)
or
  $ ubuntu-bug xorg (for versions 8.10 or later)"</pre>

then?
I mean, until launchpad includes that functionality

(again, apologies for the automatically appended crap earlier, if I knew it was going to do that I would have just used the launchpad website)
