Bug Description
Currently when you report a bug about a distribution, Launchpad asks you to specify which package the bug occurs in.
It may be possible to guess the package, based on the bug description you've entered. This would require moving the package field after the description field.
[This report previously also mentioned a field for the software version, which is bug 424; and package-specific bug-reporting guidelines, which is bug 43893.]

Tim, having a field for which version of the software you're using is bug 424. And having package-specific bug-reporting guidelines is bug 43893.
So once bug 43893 is fixed, I think the missing step would be auto-suggesting which package the bug belongs in, based on what you've entered in the description. Does that seem right? If so I'll update the bug report accordingly.
