A couple of suggestions: 1. Try adding --no-check-installed to your reportbug command line; that should suppress the dpkg information. You may need to add --package-version to skip a prompt. 2. I'd probably also add --offline (which implies --no-check-available and --no-query-bts) and --no-verify (for speed).
If you're still getting prompts (I assume that's what the echo is for), try redirecting stdin from /dev/null.
