You can both configure the project to be upstream itself, or to point to 
a upstream bug tracker.

Note the difference:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1501782/+choose-affected-product>
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1501289/+choose-affected-product>

We should, as this saves us for looking for the bug tracker each time we 
have to upstream. This is specially important when you are working with 
all the 48000+ packages in Ubuntu.

Not really, as many packages belong to the same upstream project. And 
even if that was the case, it would still be more convenient than 
looking for the upstream bug tracker for every package you triage.
