It should add the package hint to the bug description and be reassigned to clvm's sourcepackage.

The problem is that 'clvm' is a binary package and that field only accepts source packages.
Nevertheless the error message be more informative as per bug 1922 or it should add a package hint similar to the way when you report a bug on a binary package.
