Thanks, that does make sense for Ubuntu.  For bugs in the ppa, or bugs
relating to bzr versions in the ppa but not yet in Ubuntu this might
be seen as noise though...    I think for the moment we've been filing
them only as bzr bugs with a tag or subject pointing to the ppa.  If
the ppa comes closer to the version packaged in the development
release of Ubuntu the differences may be small.
