when launching reportbug with the -m switch, it is ignored, 
which results in the report being submitted to Debian 
regardless. The behavior I witness:

8X-----
*** Welcome to reportbug.  Use ? for help at prompts. ***
Detected character set: UTF-8
Please change your locale if this is incorrect.

Using '"Martin-Éric Racine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' as your from address.
Getting status for skype...
Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org...
Will send report to Debian (per lsb_release).
Maintainer for skype is 'Skype Technologies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'.
Looking up dependencies of skype...
8X-----

The above already provides two self-contradictory trends:
1) the maintainer is correctly extracted from the debian/control file.
2) and yet, the report will be sent to Debian.

After the usual prompt for a bug title and severity, then composing, I get this:

8X-----
Please select tags: (one at a time) [done]
Spawning nano...
Report will be sent to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Attachments:
 /usr/share/menu/skype
Submit this report on skype (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|?]? q
8X-----

Thus, a third oddity:

3) the report will be sent to a bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED] address.

Sure enough, the Debian BTS sent me a confirmation e-mail with a bug number. 
Worse, the bug report found in the BTS reports the Maintainer as "unkown".

Therefore, I have to conculde that reportbug is defective.
