Bug Description

ubuntu-bug doesn't make program lookup when package lookup failed. This is inconvenient for users, who don't know about `which` command. Is it possible to automate lookup and continue search until something matches?

This is expected as "ubuntu-bug" isn't the name of any package in Ubuntu. Apport requires the name of a package. This can also be seen in trying to report a bug against chromium-browser by using "ubuntu-bug chromium". Closed as this is the expected behavior of Apport.

Not only the name of package.

$ ubuntu-bug -h
Usage: ubuntu-bug [options] [symptom|pid|package|program path|.apport/.crash file]

Yes, this is an enhancement to add just |program name| to the lookup order.
