Bug Description
This is a low priority feature request:
It seems to me that the user experience of reporting bugs to multiple packages can be improved.
I personally find it confusing that I should click on "Also affects distribution" when what I my brain is telling me is "Also affects another package" which is the case in most bugs. Not many bugs on LP are reported to multiple packages are said to be affecting Ubuntu & (some other distribution). Most are for a package and another package (application and library for example). I think that the name of the link should be changed (?back?) to "Also affects distribution/
When reporting a bug it would be nice to have a little "+" symbol beside the package field, to add another field so that the user is able to report to all the packages at once without having to go through the process of going through "Also affects distribution".
For advanced users the text field should be able to accept packages seperated by commas and then validate the choices for the correct distribution.

I'm marking this wishlist for the time being since it's not something that, at the moment, is on our radar. However, it would be a really cool way of dealing with multiple targets.
