bug reporting - How to report a bug of an unofficial package?

I've installed a game called Slingshot Portal (package name: portal-slingshot) using Ubuntu Software Center.



The game fails to start with the following error:



Failed to execute command "java -jar /opt/portal-slingshot/portal_slingshot_1.2.0.jar".
Failed to execute child process "java" (No such file or directory)


Obviously, I don't have Java installed, and the package didn't have Java as a dependency. How do you report such cases?




I tried to run



ubuntu-bug portal-slingshot


But it exits with this message:



This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again.



Please note that I'm not asking for instructions on how to install Java, I'm trying to report a broken third-party package that is available for download via the official Ubuntu Software Center and therefore should have proper dependencies.
