(Get the code!)
In some cases, a particular distribution *is* the upstream for some software. Examples include Ubiquity, Upstart, and the Ubuntu Documentation, all of which are designed for Ubuntu first and foremost.
In these cases, the benefit of keeping generic bugs and distro-specific bugs separate is less than the cost caused by there being two possible places to report bugs about exactly the same software. Perhaps there should be some way to handle this specially: Colin Watson said "I'd love to have bugs (optionally) transparently gatewayed from one to the other".
