Launchpad generally organises binary packages (e.g. libreoffice-core, etc.) by the source package that built them (e.g. libreoffice).

What I'm trying to do is identify the package and then access the Launchpad entry for the package. But for example, Libreoffice seems to lump all the libreoffice packages into one Launchpad entry, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice. Is there an easy way to find the Launchpad entry for a particular package?

That's actually correct. LibreOffice is really by and large one big binary with different "modes" for Writer, etc., and it is indeedn libreoffice-core which ships /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin.

Discovering the package of an open window
What is the best way to discover the package a program is in by clicking on an open window? So far I've been using xprop to get the PID of the window, reading where /proc//exe points too, and then running apt-file search on that. However, for some programs, like LibreOffice Writer, I get libreoffice-core, not libreoffice-writer. For the program I'm writing, Contributor Console (written in python), the executable is /usr/bin/python2.7, even though I launched it with the command contributor-console. So, what is the best way to accurately discover the package a program is in by clicking on an open window?
