I don't find it useful, and frequently edit the bug to remove it.

  '"Binary package hint" is a mysterious term

Excellent, I frequently re-remove it manually.  It if really needs to
be there, perhaps an X-Header line?

Everything I file, or ask a user to file is long-typed, eg:

  http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo/+filebug?field.title=My+summary+of+the+bug+I+want+you+to+file

as it's faster to guide a user directl,y by pre-populating an
appropriate title, and also faster for the developer than trying to
navigate through the Launchpad hierarchy.
