No, as user, you can file bugs in the Debian BTS, and you are encouraged to
do this when it is a Debian problem (packaging, integration). However, when
the bug is upstream it is usually a better idea submit the bug to upstream
and follow up in whatever system upstream uses.

If you think there is any part of the BTS's documentation that says explicitly
you must file bugs in the Debian BTS and not upstream, please let me know.
I will file a bug against bugs.debian.orgwith a rewording suggestion.
