Using Debian Reportbug

Reportbug is easy to use program for reporting bugs in GNU/Debian Linux. If you are using webmail services like yahoo, MSN, gmail and don't run a SMTP daemon on your computer, you can configure reportbug to reflect both.

Here is my ~/.reportbugrc configuration.

 
# reportbug preferences file
# Version of reportbug this preferences file was written by
reportbug_version "3.18"
# default operating mode: one of: novice, standard, advanced, expert
mode standard
# default user interface
ui text
# offline setting - comment out to be online
#offline
# name and email setting (if non-default)
realname "Rakesh 'arky' Ambati"
# email "My_Nick@yahoo.com"
# Disable fallback mode by commenting out the following:
no-cc
header "X-Debbugs-CC: My_Nick@yahoo.com"
smtphost bugs.debian.org
# You can add other settings after this line.  See
# /etc/reportbug.conf for a full listing of options.
 

You can also generate your custom configuration settings using the --configure option of reportbug.

 reportbug  --configure
Please choose the default operating mode for reportbug.

1 novice    Offer simple prompts, bypassing technical questions.

2 standard  Offer more extensive prompts, including asking about things that a
            moderately sophisticated user would be expected to know about
            Debian.

3 advanced  Like standard, but assumes you know a bit more about Debian,
            including "incoming".

4 expert    Bypass most handholding measures and preliminary triage routines.
            This mode should not be used by people unfamiliar with Debian's
            policies and operating procedures.

Select mode: [standard] 

Lastly, don't forget to read the How to report a bug in Debian page before rolling your sleeve's to report bugs to Debian BTS.
Happy Bug Hunting!!!!
