It's a reportbug issue, not monit (e.g., you can reproduce this "bug"
on the "at" package, with at.deny conffile).

You can suppress inclusion of the configuration files.  Please, consult
the reportbug documentation.

Again, please read documentation.  reportbug manpage says about
configuration files: "By default, _you are asked if you want to include
them_; in some cases, doing so may cause sensitive information to
be sent via email."

So, I will close this bugreport.  It's not a bug.
