I believe there's a tool to do that from a shell but I use the web
interface. Usually I search the package on package search page on
debian.org and then after the description you have a link to the debian
BTS (bug tracking system). Then first I check if the bug is already
there. If yes I check if I can add informationto help solve the bug. If
no, I submit a new bug. After that you can easily add information by
sending it to the bug number (something like
'bugnumber'@bugs.debian.org).
You can find the BTS page for a given package by replacing the %s in the
following link by the name of the package :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=%s
As a side note this (%s) is a way to define smart bookmark in galeon
(a powerfull feature).
