I could reproduce this bug under this environment:

    1. clean install debian stable in a vm

    2. upgrade debian to sid

    3. install emacs and debian-el: $ sudo apt -y install emacs
elpa-debian-el


Now, M-x debian-bug command does not work correctly.

I think there's something missing from your steps to reproduce.

I tried this:
1. With a clean chroot, 'sudo apt install emacs-nox elpa-debian-el'
    * Given that Emacs was not installed in the stable VM until
      post-upgrade, I don't think my digression is a relevant variable.
2. Start Emacs
3. M-x debian-bug
4. Everything appears to work fine.  After composing the full text of
    the bug, I hit C-c C-c, and then see the *Emacs Mail Setup Help*
    window appear, along with a minibuffer prompt.  From the original bug
    report email it sounds like this is farther along then you were able
    to get?

a. My hostname is a real FQDN (however no longer functional due to
expired dyndns subscription--post-Oracle acquisition is a rip-off).
It's possible that this bug only exists on hosts that don't have a FQDN
hostname.
b. Reportbug has not been configured.

Nicholas

what makes me wonder is that the same procedure works on Debian 10 but not on Debian Sid. To clarify the encountered bug, I once recorded my screen on a clean installed Debain 10 (which works fine).

and also on a clean installed Debian Sid (which doesn't work).
