The tricky part when filing a bug with KDE is often to find the right package.
In this case, that's kde-runtime:
# dpkg -S /usr/lib/kde4/kio_trash.so
kde-runtime: /usr/lib/kde4/kio_trash.so
After that, the IMO best interface to the Debian bugtracking system is
reportbug-ng, which gives you a Qt GUI interface for querying the BTS:
# reportbug-ng kde-runtime
(or just start reportbug-ng and then query for the package name)
Actual bug-reporting in Debian is done using an email interface, but
reportbug-ng starts your mail client and fills in the necessary information.
Btw. it never hurts to also check the upstream KDE bugtracker:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=kio&component=trash
(Your bug is not reported as such, but bug 181901 might be related:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181901 )
Cheers,
