Andrew Conkling (andrewski) wrote : Better text for assigning a bug to multiple packages

When a bug affects multiple packages (e.g. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1), to add a package one must click on "Also affects: 'Distribution'." However, this is not intuitive, as one (like I ;) may think this means that the bug affects the same package in different distributions, whereas one may want to assign it to a different package in the same distribution.

I think that "Package" could replace "Distribution" in this case, but even showing both words would be better than it is currently, in my opinion.

The logic, in my head at least, is that every package is in a distribution, so selecting a distro is implicit in saying that a bug affects another package.
