Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
Several bugs get incorrectly and automatically assigned to yelp, rather
than the package containing the bug. This leads to bugs hiding in odd
places, annoyed yelp triagers and developers, and frustrated users with
more round trips and fewer solved problems.
My guess on how to reproduce:
1. Discover something I want to do but can't
2. Click on Help -> Contents
3. Read help and discover I'm not using it wrong, it really is broke here
4. Click on Help -> Report a problem in yelp
5. Submit a bug report, leaving the fields filled automatically alone, since
you have no confidence
6. Yet another bug filed against yelp, rather than the program that launched
yelp.
This bug report was generated in this way, so it's at least plausible. I
know it sounds incredulous ("Users reading documentation! Incredible!")
so I'm open to alternative explanations.
