I was referring to the Distribution Bug Contact, not to a specific
package Bug Contact. The former for Ubuntu is ubuntu-bugs, which leads
to ubuntu-qa. The Distribution Bug Contact can only be set up by the
Project Drivers, or the Project Registrar.

But maybe it would need even more restriction, as ubuntu-dev (although
that would put me out heh). Not sure about it.
