thats a moot argument, you can do exactly the same on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ too ... projects all have a "report a
bug" button at the toplevel and the ability to file bugs against the
project itself. 

the issue here is that:
ogra at anubis:~/datengrab/rpi/update$ wget -O- -q
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/trusty/dvd/current/trusty-dvd-amd64.manifest|wc -l
2268

ubuntu studio consitst only of 2268 possible binaries while the whole
ubuntu project has around 50000 (and separates them in main/uniyerse,
canonical/community supported, by teams and by flavours etc).. so while
you can (and people do that [1]) file bugs against the toplevel project
even in ubuntu, that just isnt very clever if you want your bug to be
seen by the right people, the right package will speed everything up.

[1] if you open https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and scroll down you
can see that there are 136506 bugs that have been filed directly against
the "ubuntu" project (most of them were additionally assigned to a
package after bug triage, but only bugs that have been filed against
ubuntu itself originally show up on this list).
