ubuntu-bug is a wrapper around apport-cli and apport-cli has an option
for saving the report for later.  The documentation says:

--save=PATH   In bug filing mode, save the collected information
              into a file instead of reporting it. This file can
              then be reported later on from a different machine.

Saving the bug report to a file can be useful when the machine you are
testing on does not have internet access.  After saving the file and
moving it to a system with internet access you can use 'apport-cli
my.crash' (where my.crash is the saved crash file) to send the report to
Launchpad.
