I suggest assuming /usr/share/bughelper/packages as the global clue file
location (if the package is installed), then maybe check the "/packages"
directory relative to where the currently run bughelper script resides.

I don't see any trouble mixing them up.

We would 
 * first check  os.path.isfile(sys.argv[x])  then use the given .info file
 * then check  os.path.isdir(sys.argv[x])  and use all the files in that directory
 * then check  glob.glob(sys.argv[x])  and go through the list of possible matches.

I don't quite understand why we would need this. bughelper knows which
source package a given bug belongs to, so it can easily check if there's
a .info file for that bug.
