Comment 2 for bug 222958

So, the real problem is that the URL Launchpad gives you for a bug report isn't suitable for long-term use. It's quite long, and if the package is changed, it might end up giving you a page asking you an inappropriate question about whether you want to refile the report on its previous project/package.

One way of fixing this problem would be to provide a link to the unchanging version of the URL, as Tormod suggests.

Another way of fixing the problem, perhaps a better way, would be to make the actual page URL the short version, at least most of the time.
