Bugs relating to <package name/category> typically fall into X categories:
 1. User interface bugs - require a detailed description of the issue, steps to reproduce and screen captures where appropriate.
 1. Crasher bugs - Log files from the crash incident are required to track down these.
 1. Hardware specific bugs - The developers may not have access to the hardware that triggers this bug. Certain log files and command outputs can help
 1. Package selection - Help to find the right package (may be specific to category -- a bug filed as ubiquity may in fact be a casper d-i bug, an xorg bug may be an xorg-driver bug, etc.)
