Bug Description

When you want to add another package that is also affected to the current bug, the distribution field should be set to the current distribution. This would greatly reduce the amount of erronous error reports (most baltix bug reports seem to be bug reports meant for ubuntu). It happens far too often to me that I file a bug on a package for Baltix linux instead of Ubuntu.

Well, do you think that the /current/ distro should be selected? This would imply that most of the time people are saying "Also affects: Distribution" they are actually saying that it also affects another package in the same distribution. Do you think that's true?

yes, that is what I use it for most often... there is no "also affects: other package", and you have to use this instead.

I suspect then, from the comments on bug 55441, that this is more of a dupe of bug 1334.
