I hereby conclude that reportbug-ng is, in its present condition, unfit for release. Thus I raise the severity of this bug report to serious. reportbug-ng needs to be a good citizen and needs to use the infrastructure currently in place to provide good bug reports. This makes it easier (and faster) to get the bugs fixed. I suppose that your intention behind writing reportbug-ng is to ease bug reporting for our users. It must not ignore information explicitly requested by package maintainers by the means of bug scripts. I do not see how both goals, providing the necessary information to those who handle the bug reports and making it easy for the reporters, collide. Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- .''`.
