Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
ubuntu-bug was updated to support just a single command line option which is great, however as a result of this now 'ubuntu-bug -p xorg' no longer works at all. This is an unfortunate change because the bug filing instructions for multiple packages:
bughelper.txt: $ ubuntu-bug -p bughelper
kubuntu-
linux-meta.txt: ubuntu-bug -p linux
linux.txt: ubuntu-bug -p $packagename
openoffice.txt: ubuntu-bug -p $packagename
openoffice.
openoffice.
template.txt: $ ubuntu-bug -p $packagename
xorg.txt: $ ubuntu-bug -p $packagename
All indicate that the ubuntu-bug command should work with the -p switch. While they could all be updated the new command 'ubuntu-bug -p apport' wouldn't work on Hardy which people still file bugs from would require the '-p' switch. Subsequently, the ability to use the '-p' switch should be added back to ubuntu-bug and when Hardy is no longer supported the bug filing instructions could be updated and the '-p' switch dropped.
