Thanks to the continued bug pattern writing of RedSingularity I
discovered an issue with apport and bug patterns today that I wanted to
let all of you know about.

The OriginalTitle key was created in bug patterns to allow matching on
bug reports that have had their title in Launchpad changed.  To find the
OriginalTitle the bug description is downloaded and the Title portion of
it becomes the OriginalTitle while the bug title in Launchpad is its
Title.  However, when a bug is being reported by apport there is no
title in the bug for Launchpad nor a description and subsequently no
OriginalTitle.  So while test-local may have matched a bug report with
OriginalTitle no bugs being reported would match that pattern.

I've gone ahead and fixed all the existing bug patterns by renaming the
key OriginalTitle to Title.  So please be sure to write bug patterns
using the Title key and not OriginalTitle, however OriginalTitle may be
useful for testing locally.  Of course I'd like to get this fixed in
apport just need to think about the best way.

Thanks,
