Bug Description

In order to say that a bug affects another source you currently have to click on "also affects distribution/package", and choose the current distribution and package. If you want to add only add a package, there should be a page where you don't have to choose the distribution.

It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug 1334.

This bug report is a bit vague. When choosing "Distribution/Package", the distribution field is already pre-filled with Ubuntu. Adding yet another page wouldn't make sense.

The new malone interface doesn't show "also affects package" but only "also affects distribution". There should be a separate link for adding packages in the same distro that are affected by the same bug.

This is a valid bug report, but it has nothing at all to do with "the new malone interface".

Fixing bug 1334 would fix this bug by reducing the number of links rather than increasing them.
