I do not think Launchpad should enable Bugs by default.

Launchpad provides a number of services (translations, code imports, etc.) require registering projucts to use. So a lot of those are registered by community contributors that are not upstream. Launchpad used to make itself the default bug tracker, and that caused a lot of bugs to be filed in projucts where nobody were looking at them, causing user confusion and frustration.

On the other hand, projuct registration should be a guided a process that makes it easy for registrant to specify whether the project already has an external bug tracking system, and whether they want to use Launchpad as their main bug tracker.
