Got anything to support that assertion?   Bug reporting applications don't 
know where to send bug reports unless the application or the package 
containing them tells them.   Think about it.   Should bug reporting
tools list a database of contact information for thousands of packages
or should each package put that information where applications  The only
sensible way to handle this is for the package to supply that information,
though debian policy may be deficient in this regard.

bug-buddy is automatically run when iceweasel crashes, probably by virtue
of iceweasel being a gtk app.
