Bug Description

When searching for bugs in source packages which ships multiple tasks, bughelper fails with "failed to load external entity" error messages.
It is not very clear and should be changed to something more intuitive.

Well done, Luca.

I'd personally just change the "please create a new one using bugxml command" to "consult bugxml(1) on how to create one" or "check README on how to create on".

Let's take totem as an example: if you check it with bughelper you will find that some of its bugs have tasks open on xserver-xorg-video-i810 and others. You're not necessarily always in the position to write a .info file on that.

Does that make sense?

You're right, Daniel. Referring to bugxml manpage (when available) or README is a win choice. Thanks!
