I think the web site UI can change the title to the component name like
that when you edit an existing update.  It did it to me a couple of
times, I thought I was doing something wrong but maybe it's just a bug.

I think it's a bit confusing that in the old UI, the first input field was for an autoconpleting package name, for automatically populating the builds and bugs fields.

In the new UI, that "package name" field is gone, and instead, the first input field is the "Update name" ... it took me some time to get used to it.

Maybe the update name override should get moved to the far bottom of the page? IMO it shouldn't be the first and most prominent input field since it's *optional* and most people are currently using it wrong.
