I'll rephrase it:

It doesn't make sense to me to just stick a checkbox in there for
Ubuntu when we have other distros registered - there must be a nicer
way to do it (I just don't know what that is yet).

Although Ubuntu is by far the largest distribution that Launchpad
supports, and its users are by far the most numerous, there are others
registered in Launchpad, and some of those use Launchpad to track
bugs. Although it would be very easy to add an Ubuntu-only checkbox to
address this bug, that's not necessarily the right thing to do.

On the other hand it may turn out that I'm wrong and that bunging an
"Ubuntu bugs only" checkbox in there is the only reasonable way to
address this, but I'd rather investigate a more accommodating solution
first.
