Hello,the attached patch implements the removal of the 'base' pseudo package from reportbug.
Additionally I'd like to ask if it'd be OK to at the same time reassign the existing few bug reports from the 'base' package to the 'general' package or to more specific packages (most of the 'base' bugs seem to concern the kernel).
Thanks, *t
