Package: reportbug Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Currently, default desktop installs of Debian come with a non-functioning menu item for reportbug. This is because reportbug cannot sensibly depend on GUI libraries (or else all manner of GUI nonsense would be pulled in on servers!) and desktop install tasks cannot sensibly depend on seemingly-random libraries that happen to enable the reportbug GTK+ UI but would seem out of place without context.
This patch implements the solution proposed on #842018 -- namely, that the desktop file and icon be split out into a seperate package named reportbug-gtk. This package *can* sensibly depend on the needed GUI libraries, since it is not a standard priority package and will not need to be installed on servers. Additionally, desktop install tasks *can* sensibly depend on a package named reportbug-gtk, as it will be suitably clear what the purpose of the dependency is.
This is my first submission of this nature to Debian, and I may have failed to follow some established social or technical best-pracises. Please let me know if I should be going about this another way, or any other feedback you have.

Subject: [PATCH] Split out new reportbug-gtk package
This package contains the desktop file and icon, and depends on
libraries needed to have that desktop file function to launch the GTK+
UI. This package is suitable for being included in desktop environment
install tasks.

+Description: reports bugs in the Debian distribution (GTK+ UI)
+ reportbug is a tool designed to make the reporting of bugs in Debian
+ and derived distributions relatively painless. Its features include:
+ .
+ * Integration with mutt and mh/nmh mail readers.
+ * Access to outstanding bug reports to make it easier to identify
+ whether problems have already been reported.
+ * Automatic checking for newer versions of packages.
+ * Optional automatic verification of integrity of packages via debsums.
+ * Support for following-up on outstanding reports.
+ * Optional PGP/GnuPG integration.
+ .
+ reportbug is designed to be used on systems with an installed mail
+ transport agent, like exim or sendmail; however, you can edit the
+ configuration file and send reports using any available mail server.
+ .
+ This package contains a desktop file and icon, and has dependencies
+ to enable the GTK+ UI mode of reportbug to work.
