Bug Description

'ubuntu-bug snap' is reporting bugs against the snap package, which is exactly what the docs say it should do, and not what users who do not have the snap package installed want it to do. They probably want it to report a bug against the snapd package, which owns /usr/bin/snap.

Some extra heuristics to target the bug correctly could be useful, taking into account if the package is installed or if a binary with the provided name is found in $PATH.

To clarify because I was confused a bit, there is a package in the archive named snap, but it does not provide the snap command (/usr/bin/snap) - snapd does.
