There are a few tools available which make the process of forwarding
bugs to Debian easier. Both reportbug and submittodebian are documented
in the Ubuntu wiki[1].
Additionally, there is a forward-bug-to-debian python script in
ubuntu-qa-tools[2] which should forward a Launchpad bug to reportbug
which you can then submit to Debian.
