Even if it is feasible, I'd rather you not. I run a third party
repository. All my packages utilise reportbugs features to generate
useful bug reports, including sending crash output. Reportbug mails this
(after the users confirms it) to a mailing address that I monitor daily
for bug reports. Should reportbug become an alias, you've just broken
*my* bug reporting infrastructure, because launchpad and reportbug still
can't talk to each other.

No, the correct fix, in my opinion, is to fix launchpad and reportbug to
talk to each other. Which, considering how long the bug
( https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/7839 and it's duplicates! )
has been open, doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon.
