Reporting bugs for packages in the ubuntu-manual-test

[Istimsak Abdulbasir]

You have a point. I picked Vino and Remmina, because

1) I like VNC networking, and did not want to cower away from learning
something new
2) I started with these packages as an attempt to began contributing manual
testcases
3) these packages are not currently being tested

Of course I could have, and should have, tested packages that I am familiar
with. My idea, as a tester, is to test everything, not just what you like.
If this kind of thinking is not logical, I am happy to change. Personally,
I prefer doing things that come naturally to me ;-)
