I do not know anything about x2go. But I think your best bet for this
type of queries is to look at the source code (especially since you
have not got any replies on your original query).
% apt-get source reportbug
% cd reportbug-6.6.3
% grep -sirn "\-\-bts" *
...
conf/reportbug.conf:9:# See 'reportbug --bts help' for a current list
of supported BTSes
Let's open this file and see if we can find something interesting.
% gvim conf/reportbug.conf
...
8 # BTS to use
9 # See 'reportbug --bts help' for a current list of supported BTSes
10 # bts debian
Let's run that command and see what happens.
% reportbug --bts help
Valid bug tracking systems:
default
guug
debian
ubuntu
The guug is an uncommon word. Let's see how it is defined in the code.
% grep -sirn guug *
...
reportbug/debbugs.py:760: 'guug' :
reportbug/debbugs.py:761: { 'name' : 'GUUG (German Unix User Group)',
reportbug/debbugs.py:762: 'email' : '%s...@bugs.guug.de',
'query-dpkg' : False },
...
Aha! So reportbug/debbugs.py has something interesting. Opening that file, I see
736
737 # Supported servers
738 # Theoretically support for GNATS and Jitterbug could be added here.
739 SYSTEMS = { 'debian' :
740 { 'name' : 'Debian', 'email': '%s...@bugs.debian.org',
741 'btsroot' : 'http://www.debian.org/Bugs/',
742 'otherpkgs' : debother,
743 'nonvirtual' : ['linux-image', 'kernel-image'],
744 'specials' :
745 { 'wnpp': handle_wnpp,
746 'ftp.debian.org': handle_debian_ftp,
747 'release.debian.org': handle_debian_release },
748 # Dependency packages
749 'deppkgs' : ('gcc', 'g++', 'cpp', 'gcj', 'gpc', 'gobjc',
750 'chill', 'gij', 'g77', 'python', 'python-base',
751 'x-window-system-core', 'x-window-system'),
752 'cgiroot' : 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/',
753 'infofunc' : debian_infofunc,
754 },
755 'ubuntu' :
756 { 'name' : 'Ubuntu', 'email' : 'ubuntu-us...@lists.ubuntu.com',
757 'type' : 'mailto',
758 'infofunc' : ubuntu_infofunc,
759 },
760 'guug' :
761 { 'name' : 'GUUG (German Unix User Group)',
762 'email' : '%s...@bugs.guug.de', 'query-dpkg' : False },
763 }
Jackpot! Now you can try adding a stanza for your server, compile
reportbug and see if it works. If you think this is something other
Debian users would benefit from, file a bug report and send your
patch. If the maintainer likes it, he will include it in the next
versions.
FWIW, I did a similar exercise a while ago to figure out how to open a
konsole with multiple tabs at start up. More details at

hope that helps
