As far as I know the user is free to use one of the provided tools from
Debian *or* send bugreports via mail as described here:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.en.html
If you read it carefully you'll notice that rng already provides a lot
more information by default than we expect the average user to send when
reporting via mail. I agree that rng doesn't send as much as reportbug.
Cheers,
Bastian
PS: Pierre, please watch your language. There's no need to get abusive.
It's not exactly funny to process bugreports from someone who speaks to
me with such an aggressive attitude.
