They won't /always/ be contentless; but yes, we {c,sh}ould probably skip
adding the automagic Cc unless --{force-}interactive was used.
The feature was added in response to #478014, precisely because someone
had used the interactive options to add an explanation as to why they
were reassigning, which was then not included in the control response.
Of course this will still break if people combine the interactive stuff
with reassigning and using reportbug.d.o as their SMTP host, but I'm not
sure there's a nice solution there.
