Title:
  Apport doesn't let me report a bug *and* doesn't tell me an
  alternative

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I tried to report a bug against synergy, which has been installed from
  universe. Apport-bug complained, that the problem could not be
  reported because synergy was not a genuine Ubuntu package. Aptitude
  info shows, that synergy seems to be built by the getdeb project, but
  apt-cache policy also shows, that it is installed. However - and this
  is where I believe the situation should be improved - apport-bug did
  not tell my a reason for the failure nor did it provide any help as
  what to do next. It should at least say "Look at the page URL for more
  information on the package" or "send an email to the following address
  to report an error". Anything like that would improve on the
  situation.
