Well, I think I disagree with the option "what the developer said".

A bug in Ubuntu is only a bug in the official packages of Ubuntu (not 
PPAs, not backports). I think we should have a common policy for this.

Although a developer can be the main maintainer of a package, he or she 
is not responsible of Ubuntu and deciding that people can file bugs 
against Ubuntu for packages that are not in Ubuntu is not a decision 
that should be made by the developer.

We are getting more and more bugs against Ubuntu. We, at least, should 
have the certainty that they are actually bugs in Ubuntu.

What if the team in charge of the PPA created an associated project to 
file the bugs against it?

Regards,
Ara.
