Please get upstream consent on this. This looks like intentionally playful copy that they wrote -- if they want Cheese to be a cheesy, it should be their decision.

David , I'v seen the cheese website and other related resources , but they dont mention "cheesy" , it seems to be from debian packaging. Btw , most of the lines I've suggested are from their website

Vishnu,
In the future, I would recommend you to use this method for fixing bugs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix . I have noticed that bug fixes get sponsored faster that way rather than the good old 'Attach Debdiff' way.

No, some sponsors prefer bzr branches, but other the good old debdiffs. Using the new method is neither a requirement, nor a way to get it sponsored faster.
