My experience is that if you can take the time to track down the upstream
bug tracking system and learn how it is used, it is much better (== you
get more reactions) to report a bug upstream for most packages, if it's
clearly an upstream bug.
OTOH I'm often lazy and just use reportbug, since I don't want to create an
account on all 400 bugzilla and 30 gants and 160 request-tracker and ....
installations out there...
