Reorganising contents a bit...

In the submenu "Package" there's the Reconfigure feature (reachable via
Shift-R) missing.
Actually the controversial "Report Bug" feature (see #463510 for the
discussion) is missing there, too.
I think that "Run reportbug" is as good as dead, since we all agreed
in that bug report (I think), and it can be removed in a few minutes.
As I understood it, the issue with "Reportbug" is not only that it
gets triggered after suspending and arrow down, but that:
- aptitude is often run as root user, so reportbug complains about
that,
- and maybe the root user does not export useful env vars for
reportbug to use, like DEBMAIL, DEBFULLNAME, REPORTBUGEMAIL, etc.
So I don't think that it's a feature that anybody will miss, and that
we can remove ASAP.
If we add them, I think they should be clearly seperated from the
other non-immediate package actions, maybe in a subsubmenu unter "Menu
→ Package → Immediate Action" if libcwidget supports subsubmenus.
Not sure of it's supported.
So I wonder if those two "immediate package actions" (and maybe some
more) are missing on purpose.

Otherwise maybe a submenu on toplevel is an option. But I think that's
may too much attention for these seldomly used features. Hrm.
Another option would be to have them in after a separator, like
"Information", "Cycle package information" and "Changelog". In fact,
Changelog is a "immediate" action much like Reportbug, isn't it?
"Information" and "Cycle" are also immediate.
BTW, I think that perhaps "Reconfigure" should not be so immediate,
and behave like "Reinstall" instead.
Cheers.
