At the risk of sounding like the Debian website's hired PR man.....
Follow the "Bug Tracking System" from www.debian.org
See, the names on the links _do_ make sense. :)

I'm not sure the description of how to submit a bug report makes sense,
though. Perhaps you want to install the package "bug" from section
"utils". (you can find it via the "Packages" link at www.debian.org, not
the "Search" link <giggle>)
It includes a little script that in theory will walk you through the bug
submission process. It may or may not be easier than the webpage.

Looking through the list of bugs reported in apt, a lot of people have
been able to make apt segfault by using a strange terminal type. (even
screen) Perhaps you should try just logging into bash from the text
console and see if the problem still happens.
