Hi John,
            Thanx for answering my query. Does that mean I need to again 
file the request at launchpad.net or what? Although I've seen the site & 
it's a good-looking site but very buggy. Although I had registered 
before it didn't like the password, hence did the reset. I had to try to 
register the new password atleast 3 times before it reigstered & then 
gave a timeout error with a reference number. Also finding things as how 
bugs are to be filed for launchpad itself is difficult.
          AFAI understood Malone is the product to file bugs, there 
launchpad doesn't have a corner. Also while searching for a package name 
it doesn't throw up package names. Also the wiki 
https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/ isn't helpful to people
who're new to the game.  I like Gnome's bugzilla much better, much 
cleaner & usable.
          Went to https://launchpad.net/malone/distros/ubuntu & on the 
extreme right hand side it just shows up release bugs
of  Dapper,Breezy, Hoary & Warty in a logical way.  Would like if we 
have a corner saying Breezy backports or something to
that effect which is easy in case if requests have to done there.
                                       Lots of things need to be cleaned 
up. Seems it's pretty much in its infancy (launchpad) another 6-7 months 
to come to a usable state I guess. In case if somebody has been doing 
some bug triaging of launchpad itself would like
if can send me a mail off-list. Thanx in advance.
