This is due to the fact that apport generally only allows reporting bug reports about binary packages instead of source packages. However, Launchpad only accepts bug reports about source packages and subsequently there are only guided bug filing instructions for source packages. I think apport should allow someone to report a bug using a source package like in this example - ubuntu-bug mesa.
