"Bug buddy" 's future in Ubuntu ?

I noticed that "bug-buddy" is installed in Ubuntu, but there is no way
to access it from the Applications menu, hence the people who are likely
to use it, non-geeks like me, will never know it's there hence will
never use it.
Also, even if put an icon for it in the menu, it would confused said
users even more : they would have two tools to report bugs !

Since Bug-buddy is limited to reporting Gnome related problems, hence
too limited, and since even bugzilla will, at some point be discarded in
favor of Malone which will do everything when it's mature enough (did I
get this right ???), then what is the reason for keeping bug-buddy in
Ubuntu ? Removing it would remove a few files, make the system
lighter/simpler/cleaner (part of Ubuntu's design specs, which I very
much agree with ! :-), and free some space on the install CD, freeinf
space in favor of some probably more useful package, as I understand
that every megabyte on the install CD is more precious than gold ;o)


Well, just an idea really.
