Bug Description

The Browser app has two unsynced bug lists.
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app>
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app>

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 and statuses.

For example, at the time of writing, bug 1442851 is marked as Fix Released for the project but not for the package, which can't possibly be true.

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/webbrowser-app/+configure-bugtracker>, change "Bugs are tracked:" to "Somewhere else".

One of the main reasons for using upstream project bug reports until now had been that I didn’t have permissions to set the importance and assignee of package bug reports, despite being the official maintainer for webbrowser-app. This seems to have been fixed recently (I hadn’t noticed until I tried a few seconds ago), so there shouldn’t be anything preventing us from using package bug reports exclusively.

I’ll see to doing this migration ASAP.

Note that I’m not allowed to access <https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+configure-bugtracker>, I’ll see with Ken who originally registered the project if he can do that for me (or transfer ownership of the project to me).
