I'm not really sure if that's the appropriate place to document
/usr/share/bugs, but since reportbug is mentioned in the 6th
paragraph, it is kind of included by reference. [It appears that
debian-bug.el doesn't actually do the /usr/share/bugs/<package>/*;
thing either, so someone who actually uses that probably should file a
wishlist bug.]
That said, it would be rather trivial for me to add a brief paragraph
explaining how to run those scripts and supply the output in the bug
reporting instructions; perhaps I'll do so.
