Package: reportbug
Version: 11.6.0
Severity: minor
Man page says:
-o FILE, --output=FILE
Instead of sending an email, redirect it to the specified file‐
name.
The output file is a full dump of the email message, so it con‐
tains both headers and mail body. If you want to use it as a
template to create a new bug report, see the --resume-saved op‐
tion.
OK, but there should be some mention of when it won't work:
$ HOME=/dev/null reportbug --template ca-certificates --output=/tmp/z|wc -
/tmp/z

In fact there could even be some STDERR output too, saying what is going on.
