I have a user question on how to file a proper Debian bug report under
certain circumstances.

I've been testing Debian Buster off and on with Steam games. I have
noted that using the AMD open driver and Buster with Alien Isolation
seems to suffer some graphics regressions, specifically "blinking black
squares."  This does not happen under Debian Stable with the kernel
from stretch-backports (needed for my AMD Radeon 580RX on a Ryzen 5
2600X). I'd like to file a proper bug report, but I can't be confident
that it Buster's Mesa library that is the issue.  I have no real
experience debugging the graphics stack, unfortunately.

I've noted that this remains unaddressed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS  as well
(if that is actually helpful).

What is the best/most productive way to proceed?  

Thank you! 
T.J.
