I'm using dapper and just checked that all updates are installed. However,
reportbug still seems to be the old one that sends mails to ubuntu-users - of
course I didn't want to file a complete bugreport in order to check it really
does. But as I understand you, you didn't want change the reportbug-program
itself, but only the menuentry so reportbug doesn't get used anymore.
(Reportbug's version: 3.18ubuntu1).

The menuentry still points to the reportbug-script. I doublechecked
with /usr/share/menu/reportbug.

The content of /usr/share/menu/reportbug is:
-----
?package(reportbug):needs="text" section="Apps/System" \
  title="reportbug" command="/usr/bin/reportbug --exit-prompt" \
  hints="Bug reporting"
-----

BTW: I'm using WindowMaker, so I have no idea if the menu was different in
gnome, Kde, etc.

BTW2: I never used reportbug from the menu before. I always called it from the
commandline directly. So you should make an update that behaves well when you
type "reportbug" on the commandline.

Cheers,
Konstantin
