Bug Description

Debian's PTS pages have links to both bug reports and patches of that package in Ubuntu, like so:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gwibber.html

This makes it handy for developers to cross reference bug reports and patches. If you look at the corresponding page for us you'll see that we don't provide a link:

http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/qapkgstatus/gwibber

Having links to the corresponding bugs on our QA pages would encourage developers to look at both places.

Brian, as a first step, this looks okay, though there are packages for which this won't work because the package is named differently in debian than in ubuntu, firefox being the prime example.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Have you any bright ideas for fixing it? I'd gladly take a patch. ;-)

No clue, I'm guessing launchpad doesn't make that connection in any
way. That said, looking at iceweasel and icedove on
http://packages.qa.debian.org/, they don't link to our
firefox/thunderbird packages either, so maybe it's okay that it doesn't
work in the reverse.

It would probably be better to verify that the link you point to doesn't
404, though.
