Upstream link does not explain why the link is with a project series

Bug Description

I tried to correct the upstream links in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/fetchmail/+edit-packaging but was unable to do so. Ubuntu gets this package from Debian, but when I entered fetchmail/debian, I got "Invalid series given". Ubuntu gets this package from Debian, so a direct upstream link would be wrong.

The UI needs fixing. It must make it clear that Launchpad wants a link from the source package to the mirrored/hosted launchpad project + series so that it can import translations, forward bugs, and build source packages from branches.

milestone: none → 3.1.12
