Package: reportbug Version: 6.4.3 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these lines *** reportbug includes the above lines in its template. As it says "Dear Maintainer" at the top I thought those lines were aimed at the maintainers of packages whose bugs I was reporting, but the messages actually seem to be aimed at the reporter and I was told by a maintainer that I should remove them. Perhaps the "Dear Maintainer," is supposed to be separate? In which case I think it should either be removed or separated with a blank line, and the first line of the template should be changed to: *** Reporter, please consider answering... -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="gvim -f -geometry 80x40" EMAIL="h...@realh.co.uk" DEBFULLNAME="Tony Houghton" -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.9.7.5 ii python 2.7.3-2 ii python-reportbug 6.4.3 reportbug recommends no packages.
