The standard installation puts it on your system as
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt. It's also on the web as
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting, and is mentioned in the Debian FAQ
(http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/, currently section 11.5).
reportbug is also part of the standard installation.
Maybe reportbug should be mentioned in /etc/motd? Compare OpenBSD:
Please use the sendbug(1) utility to report bugs in the system.
Before reporting a bug, please try to reproduce it with the latest
version of the code. With bug reports, please try to ensure that
enough information to reproduce the problem is enclosed, and if a
known fix for it exists, include that as well.
