For me, "report any bug normally using reportbug" goes here:
* Run "reportbug packagename", or "reportbug filename", or just "reportbug".
* Let it retrieve the version information and bug list, and get past
  the various things checking if you really want to file a bug report.

* Provide the usual bug report information: severity, subject, tags,
  and CCs.  The specific values don't matter.
* Let reportbug spawn an editor; I've reproduced the problem with both
  emacs and vim.
* Write up the bug report, save, and quit the editor.
* Tell reportbug to go ahead and file the bug.

Right now, I have:

$ ls /tmp/reportbug-*
/tmp/reportbug-auctex-20080430-5568-TqN2yB
/tmp/reportbug-dosbox-20080509-5872-jmvs3s
/tmp/reportbug-gitweb-20080504-29305-oM85mw
/tmp/reportbug-latex-beamer-20080429-10431-PBLlin
/tmp/reportbug-qemubuilder-20080503-8311-VRhXP-
