reportbug is in standard, so it's installed on every machine. Now, you can call $ reportbug --template <package> and you'll receive a nice template you can cuy&paste on a MTA-enabled machine to submit. Please note that it's not needed and mta on each machine: you can setup reportbug to use another host as smtp (with 'smtphost' config key). > Is it possible to add a remote access mode to reportbug that does all > checks and information gatherings like package version and dependencies > via a remote shell command (not specially ssh, but also rsh or thelike)? Well, I don't it will ever happen (but I left the bug still opened); the solution described above works fine.
