How do YOU report your bugs during .iso testing???

[Adrian Goodyer]

@Brian
That's interesting and I never knew that ubuntu-bugs was a wrapper like
that... I guess the clue was the exact same output from both!

I have just played around with apport-cli a little and it even has the same
-w parameter for window targeting (well duh, of course it would!) so am
definitely going to try and report my next bug by running that command :-)

@Nicholas
I have tried to submit from the command line like this but I never find it
efficient to write down the complex url and then finish submission of the
bug report on another browser. It's definitely possible though and good as
a fail safe.
