The "not tracked" bit I suspect is because this bug was imported from
our old Bugzilla system, where we only tracked supported packages;
Malone (Launchpad) is used for tracking bugs in both supported and
unsupported packages.

Only packages in "main" or "restricted" are supported.  Those packages
in "universe" and "multiverse" are not supported by the Ubuntu team and
security updates are not provided; they are instead supported by the
community at large.
