I didn't believe this at first but it's true! I think it's planned behavior, though. Looking into the reportbug code, you can force reportbug to submit a bug against the dependency package when the mode is set to advanced or expert. (This can be changed in ~/.reportbugrc) There are other sneakier ways, too, although the fact that they work is probably unintentional. By the way, while checking into this, I found that the reportbug in sid actually crashes when one runs "reportbug x-window-system-core". Just filed as #345699. -- Kevin B.
