This is odd... it sounds like "You wanted to file a bug, well... don't!" How can a package script know what a user want to report? On what basis is it going to prevent the user from reporting a bug? I can think of lots of bad reasons to use such feature, but I can't think of any sensible one. Some bad reasons: * Your version isn't supported * Your version is outdated * Your configuration is broken * The package is half-installed * You are not using Debian * You have mixed distribution version* * PEBKAC > If a relevant number of you prefers to have this "fast way out", I'm > going and code it, else we can go on with the solution currently in > place.
