Bug Description

It is difficult to browse all bugs for a Ubuntu package. I can never remember the URL (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/$packagename/+bug).

If I go to http://launchpad.net/, then follow the obvious route (click on Bugs in the box on the right), I do not see a text box for Ubuntu packages (there is one for upstream products only). If I click on 'Ubuntu bugs', I get a form for searching in all Ubuntu bug reports.

Suggestion 1: add a 'Jump to bugs in package: [ ]' box to https://launchpad.net/malone.

Suggestion 2: add short URLs, like http://bugs.launchpad.net/ with semantics similar to the Debian BTS: http://bugs.launchpad.net/$packagename redirects to a list of bugs for a package, while http://bugs.launchpad.net/$bugnumber jumps to a given bug.

Navigating to a list of bugs on a source package is anything but obvious (and Marius isn't the first to point this problem out.)

This is a little bit more than a Wishlist item. ;)
