But the word linux brings up ?too many results? on the package setting part.   I don?t know if setting the project as Linux is correct. Furthermore, I try linux-source, but for this bug [2], Launchpad automatically switched to linux-meta.  Is this correct, and does the FindRightPackage page need an update?

To be pedantic this is the Linux package for the Ubuntu distribution not
the Linux project in Launchpad.  Launchpad can track bug tasks for both
but this particular bug report does not.  The url used shows that we are
taking about a package, notice the:

"/ubuntu/+source/linux/"
