What to do with Wubi bugs ?

[Ho Wan Chan]

Well since it is indeed difficult to report bug using apport if it is about
Wubi (there aren't something like a wubi package) so I think that why don't
we tell them to indeed report bugs against Ubuntu, but then add a Wubi tag
to the bug while reporting? That might be easier for bug triagers to change
the specific project to Wubi.

Or we tell them to directly report a bug against the Wubi project in
Launchpad. The reporting guidelines for Wubi is really clear after choosing
the reported project as Wubi.

What should normal bug reporters do? File a bug against Ubuntu, or file
against Wubi directly?
