Initially it made sorta sense because there were two programs.
Unfortunately, we ditched bug(1) and didn't rephrase the sentence nicely.

How about:
<p>The <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug.html";>reportbug</a></code>
program can ease filing bugs by guiding you through the bug reporting process
step by step.
The <kbd>querybts</kbd> tool, available from the same package as
<a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug.html";>reportbug</a>,
provides a convenient text-based interface to the bug tracking system.</p>
People skip reading roundabout descriptions, just shove the right bit of
information down their throat ASAP :)
