The package information is not available on my copy of ubuntu because I
installed some extra software - python 3 upgrades etc.
The system options such as mouse functions should be in the kernel not an
application package.  I believe the bug report was clear.
Also yes, a bug can be in more than one "source package" and indeed it is
"just filed against Ubuntu" which handles left handed "mice" incorrectly.
