Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

The Binary Package Hint: created by this version of ubuntu-bug (or apport) is wrong and identical to the source package. To verify this, install a binary package where the source package name is different (for instance, courier-authdaemon), and report a bug against a file of that binary package. See how the Binary Package Hint: contains the _source_, rather than the _binary_ package name.

This causes additional burdens on developers reading bug reports, because they need to figure out which binary package is affected.
