You can pretty much stop right after the first sentence and just use
reportbug. 

The one gotcha is that reportbug needs either a working mail server
configuration or an SMTP host. In your case you could use GMail:
https://wiki.debian.org/reportbug#Using_GMail.27s_SMTP_Server

Figuring out which package to file the bug against is another problem,
but I'm sure the list can help out there too.
