Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal
I quite often hit the "This package does not appear to be installed;
continue with this report [y|N|q|?]?" prompt, which defaults to "no".
I often end up reporting bugs on uninstalled packages, either because I
need to report the bug from a different system, or because I want to
report a bug on a component of d-i or similar, or due to a bug that
prevents installing the package. Please consider either defaulting this
question to "Yes" or offering an option to do so, preferably the former.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett

I'd rather leave reportbug on the safe side, and so force the reporter
to check the package name than leave a "lazy" default and the
possibility to report bugs against unexisting package because of a
typo.
