Just use ubuntu-bug, it is much easier.  The only part which can be
tricky is deciding which package to assign it to.  If I do not know
which to use then I ask here and usually someone will know the
package, or at least suggest one in the general area so that whoever
looks at it will probably be able to re-assign it to the correct one.
