I'm /guessing/ you noticed the "incomplete" status on a desktop package?
This *was* usually the practice to mark bugs which have yet to be sent
upstream as "incomplete". [irrespective of patch]

However, it was discussed and considered as a confusing status, now the
recommended practice is to just leave the status as-is[or can be marked
confirmed] and to open an upstream task in launchpad[ and report it
upstream ;) ]

[Preferably when asking a question it would be easier if the bug link in
question was mentioned, would be easier to answer the question. Some
teams have their own workflows]
