Package search Failure: Having a hard time (not intuitive) assigning a bug to Landscape

Bug Description

The interface in Launchpad is not great when attempting to report a bug against landscape.canonical.com (the site).

Entering 'Landscape' in the package field does not seem to work. Average users will have a hard time understanding Landscape itself is in the "Distribution" category and not a package.

It would be nice if when typing in landscape, you could report a bug just like you can by going to the following link:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/landscape/+filebug

The interface for searching for a package needs to be re-vamped. Should I want to assign a bug to landscape-client, I have to go through many PPAs, items named "Not Uploaded", and the text is truncated. I think however, there may be other reports which complain about the unclarity of the current package search.

Will attach screenshots as examples package search failure.
