Bug Description

1. Go to <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+packaging>.
2. Notice that "notify-osd-icons" is listed as one of the "Unlinked translatable packages".
3. Follow the link to <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/notify-osd-icons/+edit-packaging>.
4. In the "Project series" field, enter "trunk", and click "Change".

What happens: "There is 1 error. You must choose a project series."

What should happen: I really don't know. I'm guessing that Launchpad doesn't even know what project notify-osd-icons belongs to, in which case asking just for a project series isn't any help (lots of projects have "trunk" series). There might be some secret syntax for entering a project ID and a project series ID in the same field, but I have no idea what it would be. Probably there should be a separate field for entering the project ID, alongside the field for entering the series ID.
