Hi,

You are correct: now that I checked, “apport-bug apport” and “apport-bug
net-tools” works fine.  I agree that this is not a bug.

It can however be rephrased as an enhancement: I believe that most
people think of programs, not packages (at least I do ☺).  So if there
is a bug with a program, I just call “apport-bug” followed by the
program name (which most of the case actually corresponds to the package
name, but as instanced here, not always).

When typing a non-existent command in the shell, I usually get a message
“try installing this package”: do you think that it would be easy to add
a feature of Apport such that if the package is non-installed, but that
there is a command with this name, it suggests a package name instead?
I think that this would greatly help getting useful bug reports ☺  Maybe
the code from gnome-terminal that looks for such package can be reused?

Have a nice day,
Martin.
