This documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Filing_a_general_bug_against_no_particular_package
Says  that I can open a bug against "No particular package".

This is untrue, if you run ubuntu-big and select other it says you must
specify a PID. This is blocking me from raising another defect, I have
diagnosed the root cause of the other bug but I am unable to report it
as I cannot work out what package it is in!! There needs to be a way to
raise a defect against no particular package, preferably from a web
browser, what if the defect is in grub and I'm using another machine,
maybe a Windows machine?
