It's easy to avoid vi/vim in Debian, both in general and with reportbug. 

*   Use the $EDITOR or $VISUAL environment variable.
*   If you're admin, you may use the Debian alternatives system. 
    Run "update-alternatives --config editor" as
    root and select the editor of your choice.
*   Run reportbug with the -e option, or set it in your reportbugrc. 

There may be more ways to achieve the same effect :-)
Please consider closing this bug. 

Regards,
Nikolaus
