Thx, but not as helpful as hoped.

I don't want to wait 2 months only to find out that it is too hard add
the essential package version information to ubuntu bug tracking.

How can I start this now before I get swept away by another project?

If  adding bug package version tracking to launchpad is too hard, then
I would be forced to consider ubuntu derivative using debian bts.
