deb-control(5):

       Bugs: <url>
              The url of the bug tracking system for this package. The current
              used   format   is   <bts_type>://<bts_address>,    like deb-
              bugs://bugs.debian.org.

You might also find /usr/share/doc/reportbug/README.developers to be
of interest.
