Bug#801926: mass-bug: option to include an external file

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.9
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

When I use mass-bug, it's because I have rebuilt many packages
and some of them failed to build. I need to provide the details
to the packager... for now I host the build los on people.debian.org
and provide a link but that's not ideal as those logs will vanish at
some point. It would be better if I could include the logs
either as an attachment with an new option
--attachment="buildlogs/#PACKAGE#_#VERSION#" or embedded
in the mail (in that case the last X lines should be included only)
with #EXTRACT:50# and an --extract="buildlogs/#PACKAGE#_#VERSION#" option.

Thank you for considering my request!
