I don't see why you would single out one particular upstream bug tracker for special treatment.  If someone, for
example, files a bug against the Compiz package in Ubuntu I'd want to see it sent upstream to Compiz, which happens to
track its upstream bugs in Launchpad.

It's just not reasonably scalable to expect the Ubuntu triageurs to do all the upstreaming themselves.  It's unclear why
a project participant would _not_ want to see their bugs reported upstream unless the bugs is exclusively related to
Ubuntu packaging.
