Thanks, Maria!
Package: plasma-widgets-workspace
Version: 4:4.11.13-2
Severity: wishlist
File: plasma-widgets
Dear Maintainer,
writing bug reports about bugs in Plasma widgets or addons is sometimes quite
difficult as it is not clear to which package they belong to.
Especially if you use a non-english language, you don't even know the official
name of the widget/addon, so it is really hard work to find out where to write
the bug report to. Even in the forums people sometimes can't help you,
especially if your used language is much different than english therefore using
completely different names.
Fazit: Widgets should have an "About" Section containing at least information
about the package they belong to. This would make reporting of bug alot easier.
Thanks for your work and time!
Maria

I don't see how this could be feasible under the Debian scope, but it shouldn't
be too hard to do this on the upstream side of things, reporting the
corresponding group (plasma, apps, extragear) and component (kdeplasma-addons,
etc) a particular plasmoid belongs to. The relation between the upstream
component names and the Debian source package names should be similar enough,
and are probably easy to find, although you'll need to know how to report to
the source package directly.
On the other hand, most kde applications have a Report Bug menu entry, that
reports the issue upstream, which is the preferred report method for the not
Debian specific issues, so it would make sense to add this "report bug" option
to the plasmoids.
Could you please send the feature request upstream?
Happy hacking,
