Are you saying that I intentionally report bugs to the wrong packages?
It is more likely that this was a mistake, considering how closely
named the two packages are, rather than me intentionally reporting
bugs on the wrong packages, AND purposefully making the wrong package
that I select to report one that is closely named to the one that is
the right package.

In fact, consulting with the original submitter (me), I have learned
that this was reported in error, rather than done for some odd reason
of reporting against the wrong package. I tend to be a fairly good
authority of my own intentions and so I implicitly trust this
information I have gathered from myself to be true, although there is
a possibility that I thought it would be a good idea to intentionally
report a bug on the wrong package and did so here and have fooled
myself into thinking that I did not do so. However, again this seems
unlikely but I admit it is possible.

So thank you for recognizing the possibilities of such strange
behavior and teaching an idiot bugreporter a lesson in the improbable
case that the possible was realized, it makes good sense to lash out
wildly in hopes that you hit something.
