Package: reportbug
Version: 3.2
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole

The conf files for reportbug are created world-readable.  For users of 
smart-hosts this represents a security hole since it exposes their 
passwords on that host for any local user to pick up.  Heck, reportbug 
even included that information in this bug report before I deleted it.
