But not in Ubuntu. It's ok if a developer uses a PPA before uploading something
to the archive and asks to report bugs in the bug tracker, but not as a general
rule.

The solution is not to allow people to submit bugs from outside the archive in
the bug tracker, but to ask the Launchpad devs to provide a way to report bugs
against a PPA.

Cheers,
Emilio
