After then aborting reportbug you still have to run it manually from the command line. - The option to run reportbug can be triggered accidentally (#412830). - I have accidentally triggered reportbug many times.

It has utility for at least some users, is simple to implement, and is similar to other auxillary features of aptitude such as view-changelog. It was recently requested to have this feature customizable so that derivatives can invoke their own bug report command.

When aptitude is invoked via su and similar utilities this can be worked around by swapping the real and effective user IDs prior to calling reportbug, which is sound security practice. This is a simple enough change and perhaps addresses the issue for most users. > - The option to run reportbug can be triggered accidentally > (#412830). Removing this feature will not resolve that issue, only cause it to manifest in other ways. > - I have accidentally triggered reportbug many times.

Other users find it useful or would like it working on some derivative. Regards Daniel Hartwig [1] <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208188>
