It seems likely that if people are having problems during boot that they
are not able to get to a point where they can use 'ubuntu-bug' to file
the bug report.  Subsequently, filing the bug about the Wubi project
would make sense.  However, if they can use ubuntu-bug they should as it
may provide helpful debugging information.

The particular discussion you mention was a rather tricky and
contentious one.  The vast majority of them will not be and everyone
should feel free to update the wiki, especially since the mailing list
is, or should be, subscribed to changes about wiki pages we care about.
