Use correct email address to reportbug [on hold]

I am using reportbug to report a bug. However, it uses My Name <username@name-of-computer> as the from address instead of My Name <email@address>. How to use my email address in reportbug?

Note: I am trying to submit a new package to Debian (so that it will be later included in Ubuntu). The standard procedure is to use reportbug to submit a bug report against the pseudo-package WNPP, and this bug will ve used as a reference until the package is accecpted. This is why I have to use reportbug and not ubuntu-bug. Also, note that I am not asking questions about how to submit bug report to Debian. I am asking a specific question about how to configure reportbug, which is in Ubuntu repositories.

As far as I know you file a bug on -launchpad- against the Ubuntu package and it is then sent upstream

Check this wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages. When the software is approved in Debian repositories, that bug will be closed. There is no other way to submit a new package to Debian. I understand that Ask Ubuntu is not the place to ask question about reporting bugs about Debian. But this is a special case where one needs to report bug to Debian so that the package will be eventually accepted in Ubuntu.
