Copied from Bug #534947:

The problem seems quite deeply rooted in how launchpad-integration works. Currently, lpi supports:

* fromProcessID(options.pid, logger)
* fromFilename(options.filename, logger)
* fromPackageName(options.package, logger)
* fromXID(options.xid, logger)

It uses these options to look up the relevant information from a package. Basically, another option needs to be added somehow to allow overriding the lookup functionality to use a hardcoded control file for a particular package.

I've raised a bug upstream for this and will spend some time addressing that. That is the required functionality to address both this issue, and the associated crash as seen when attempting to launch the report a bug feature prior to installing the package under development.
