See /usr/share/doc/reportbug/README.Developers;

Basically, you want a Send-To: foobts.foobar.org or whatever in
/usr/share/bug/$package/control;

Alternatively, add a Bugs: and Origin: field to your control file so
reportbug (and otherfrontends) will know to read it and send bugs to
the appropriate location.
