Title:
  apport-collect won't submit updates to a bug assigned to a source
  package when only a binary package of another name from that source is
  installed

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When you run "apport-collect <bug-number>" on a bug filed against
  xorg-server, apport-collect just errors out:

   Package xorg-server not installed and no hook available, ignoring
   No additional information collected.

  See bug #576621 as an example.

  Similarly,

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+filebug#form-
  start

  gives the following advice for filing bugs:

  xorg-server (Ubuntu) guidelines:
  Please report bugs against xorg-server with this command:
    $ ubuntu-bug -p xorg-server

  Since xorg-server is a source package, ubuntu-bug says the package
  doesn't exist.  I'm not sure of the intended design, so I'm not sure
  if this is bad advice, a launchpad problem, or an ubuntu-bug problem.
