Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: important
Simple 'reportbug <anything>' results in:
Getting status for reportbug...
Verifying package integrity...
Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org, incoming.debian.org and

Will send report to Debian (per lsb_release).
Querying Debian BTS for reports on reportbug (source)...

Real rough hack of a fix, before line 552 of

add the lines:

That was enough to let me report this bug.
