This would be very useful I think. Launchpad already allows you to link an
Ubuntu package to an upstream one, so it would be nice if, as the
owner/maintainer of the associated upstream, I could tell Launchpad to
automatically mark the task as affecting upstream as well and let me
invalidate them as appropriate. Especially for packages with minor or
non-existent differences from upstream (or upstream projects which
explicitly support Ubuntu, which seem to be growing in number), it is likely
the bug is an upstream issue.
