[Reportbug-maint] Bug#524099: reportbug: Truncate lines width in bug description

[Apelete Seketeli]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.1
Severity: wishlist

The last bug reports I sent using reportbug had too long lines in their descriptions: when viewed on the Debian BTS one have to horizontally scroll to read some sentences, and that's very annoying.
I don't know the number of characters each line shouldn't exceed, but each line should definitely be truncated to that width (with auto inserted return characters).
