Confirmed; FWIW, I have reportbug 2.20, emacs21 21.3-1, and gnus 5.10.2-3.

The call seems to be from within Gnus, which I guess doesn't quite
manage to load properly:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function gnus-agent-possibly-save-gcc)
  gnus-agent-possibly-save-gcc()
  run-hooks(message-header-hook)
  message-send-mail(nil)
  message-send-via-mail(nil)
  message-send(nil)
  message-send-and-exit(nil)
  call-interactively(message-send-and-exit)

Adding (load "gnus-load" t) to the top of
/usr/share/reportbug/reportbug.el fixes it, at least on my system.

Incidentally, you might also be interested in debbugs-el, which
provides a nice report-debian-bug command.
