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.
