Bug Description
Binary package hint: bug-buddy
Ubuntu Edgy has been spamming bugs.gnome.org with a large volume of useless bug reports [1]. Because Edgy does not come with debugging symbols installed, crashes do not contain information that can help track their true cause. Asking the bug reporters for additional information has resulted in no additional response. There are a limited number of GNOME developers, and it is both impolite and unwise asking them to waste their limited time on these invalid bug reports. Please either remove bug-buddy from Ubuntu Edgy or disable the send routine for crashes to bugs.gnome.org. Thanks!

Thank you for your bug. We already talked with GNOME bugsquad several times about that and they prefer to get extra load than getting almost no bugs. The issue is being worked on by the bugzilla admins and maybe bug-buddy should be fixed to not sent bugs when there is no useful bt
