 * Story: As a bug reporter/triager, I want to link a bug report tracked in Launchpad to its equivalent tracked in an external tracker.
 * Deliverables: A guide to linking a bug report to its external equivalent, whether that's as a bug link, bug watch with status imports or a bug plugin link.
  * Options: bug watch with status, bug link, bug plugin link (two way comment sharing, only forward coments that are replies to comments pulled in from the remote tracker)
  * Also affects projects or a distro -- explain importance of difference between Ubuntu packages and upstream projects that use LP
  * If LP doesn't know the location of an upstream bug tracker: can add info for bug tracker, or give URL for a bug and LP will automatically add bug tracker, we get emails about -- https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/356656/+choose-affected-product
  * If it does: there are two scenarios -- 1) it knows everything and can help your search for it or file it or 2) it still doesn't know enough so just gives you the options above. Explain that the maintainer needs to set such gubbins.
