Reporting bug on capitalized package name returns unhelpful "There is 1 error"

Bug #192615 reported by Raptor Ramjet
12
Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
Launchpad itself
Fix Released
Low
Unassigned

Bug Description

1. At <https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug-advanced>, in the package field, enter a package name that has one or more letters capitalized, e.g. "Xorg" or "fireFox".
2. Enter dummy text in the "Summary" and "Further information" fields, and click "Submit Bug Report".

What happens: "There is 1 error". There was no clue whatsoever what the error was or how I should fix it.
What should happen: The package name is converted to lower-case and accepted without error.

Entering a word that isn't a package name produces an appropriate error message, regardless of whether it is capitalized. The unhelpful error here occurs only if you enter a real package name but one or more of its letters are capitalized.

This is not a duplicate of bug 133897, because that bug occurs for Nexenta but not for Ubuntu, while this bug occurs for Ubuntu. See also bug 66552.
