Only because that is what you would like to see fixed first I guess.
You expressed you like debian. I do too. Filing a bug, with a
procedure that is reproducible, is one of the best ways to assist the
developers to fix a bug. Eventually it goes upstream anyway... so if
you filed with Centos or ArchLinux, then it would eventually get back
to Debian anyway.
But if you are testing the bug in Debian environment, then sensible to
file with bugs.debian.org - sometimes the developer might ask (in the
bug) to test another small thing, like eg strace or whatever might
help him/her.

I was the same when I first reported a bug. But it's easy when you get
the hang of it. Just go to bugs.debian.org there is a link near the
top "how to report a bug".
There is even a gui (explained on website) - reportbug-ng which makes
it easy to automatically include info about the bug. It also provides
that you can add your own information as well.
If you prefer, just use the website too. Pretty straightforward after
I used it first time.
