Bug description:
Many distros either use RPM packages or allows users to build packages for themselves. Please add a checkbox in distro details that would allow users to report bugs against any packages and not just ones uploaded to Launchpad. I'm a PLD Linux developer and some users mailed me asking why Launchpad claims "there is no such package in PLD."

I think "This distribution does not use Launchpad for releases, allow any package name to be entered for bugs" would be a decent wording.
