Bug Description

Binary package hint: bughelper

Bughelper relies on python-launchpadbugs which as not been ported to use python-launchpadlib instead of screen scraping. See further bug 552953. Subsequently, bughelper is largely useless and as such should not be included in 10.04 LTS. Please remove the package from the archive.

If you could also remove python-launchpadbugs and rsolve bug 552953 at the same time that'd be awesome.
