Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

A lot of linux bug reports are titled '[STAGING] ' as the linux package hook prepends that to bug titles and then users leave the title with just that thinking it is informative when in fact this is as about as helpful as having no bug title at all. You can see examples of this at:

  * Only prepend linux bug titles with [STAGING] if a title exists
