No they are not. Any random person can upload a package to Launchpad,
but packages uploaded to the archive have a certain guarantee about
their quality and whatnot.

I think it's more of assigning the bug to the correct place. Because
these bugs aren't really in Ubuntu, but in a PPA (which is considered a
3rd party repository), the bugs don't really belong to Ubuntu unless
they can be reproduced on the packages in the official Ubuntu archives.

However, I believe that eventhough the bugs don't really belong in
Ubuntu, they do belong somewhere. There should be some way to report and
track bugs in PPAs, but this is a Launchpad issue.
