Reporting Bugs against canonical partner packages

Asked by Michael Flaig

Anyone know how we are supposed to report a bug against software that is provided by canonical partner repo?
In this case skype which installs but fails on amd64 because of missing libs.

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The problem is that skype wants IA32 libs and not amd64 because it is 32-bit and that's a fail IMHO

However ubuntu-bug skype doesn't accept the bug and the wiki wasn't helpful either on how one is supposed to report bugs against those packages.

Thanks a lot ...

Uninstall skype and install it from the skype site, they ship a 64bit package.
