Both would lack the dependancy gathering that reportbug has.  Granted
this dependancy gathering is only done if the system that reportbug is
run on actually has the package to which a bug is being reported
installed, but it's still a very nice feature.

I avoid any BTS based on bugzilla if at all possible.  They seem to have
taken the "include everything" approach and as a result over optioned
their BTS by quite a ways.
