Title:
  I cannot raise a defect if I do not know the package name explicitly.

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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?
