Bug Description

Unity 8 has two unsynced bug lists.
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8>
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8>

This unnecessarily risks quality: some bugs are only in one list, some people will know about only the other list, and even when a bug is in both lists they can have different importance levels.

For example bug 1362712, reported on the unity8 and libusermetrics packages, was a duplicate of bug 1359022, reported on the unity8 and libusermetrics projects.

For these reasons, Ubuntu Touch policy is to track bugs on packages, not projects.
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-November/037821.html>

To fix this:
1. Go through each bug reported on the project, except this one, and move it to the package.
2. Mark this bug as fixed a couple of minutes in advance.
3. At <https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8/+configure-bugtracker>, change "Bugs are tracked:" to "Somewhere else".

Completely agree, we're planning to do that move soon.

The only problem with that is that anyone who wants to be able to manage the Ubuntu bugs need to become a member of ~ubuntu-bugcontrol, allowing you to triage all Ubuntu bugs, not just unity8 (Ubuntu) ones. That's the only reason why we procrastinated this move...
