What to do with Wubi bugs ?

[Thomas Ward]

That's what penguin42 (Dave) and I agreed on, and what hggdh also said in
-bugs.  The other part of this is whether we should update
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#During_boot for Wubi-specific
things, such that we tell them "For Wubi bugs, you should file against just
"Ubuntu" and then mention wubi in the subject" or something, so that
bugcontrollers or bug triagers can go through and change it to affect Wubi.

I think we do need to update the wiki for that, but as I don't like
changing things without discussion (go sift through bugsquad mailing list's
history for "core" vs. "non-core", we had a discussion on that), I thought
it'd be prudent to discuss it on the mailing list, and if need be include
devel or some other list in the discussion.
