Public bug reported:

I've tried to report bug against uvcvideo in dmesg. `ubuntu-bug` refused
with the message "The report belongs to a package that is not
installed".

The message is wrong - it is not that there is a package that is not
installed, there is no such package at all
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=uvcvideo&searchon=names&section=all

Apport could do this check and provide a link package search in that
popup message.

And if this bug is fixed, it will be possible to fill another request -
when the package is not found, make an additional lookup for name in
drivers shipped by default with kernel.

I can try to make a patch if somebody can enlighten me on a TRUE way to
make a package name lookup from apport. Ideally offline, but online is
fine too if there is no way.
