We already do that (with considerable difficulty, since once cannot simply execute a /usr/share/bug/$PACKAGE/script from the command line), but we'd have to collect the information that is collected by reportbug in the default ourselves, again. > I feel that the feature you request doesn't belong in -- and is quite > distant from the scope of -- reportbug :). I still think that it it the easiest way to have this implemented in reportbug since most of the code needed is already there.
