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.
