As has already been explained, Launchpad doesn't support tracking bugs on
packages in PPAs.  There are many other differences between how Launchpad
handles PPAs (which are small scale repositories maintained by a team) and
Ubuntu (which is a complete distribution with thousands of packages, a
hierarchical government, etc.).

This isn't about being "allowed" or not.  It simply isn't possible yet.
