[Reportbug-maint] Bug#529981: reportbug: --configure should offer a default value for UI choice

[Carl Chenet]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

When using the configuration mode, reportbug should offer a default value for the UI choice. Text mode seems appropriate.
Here is a patch for this new feature.

Bye,
Carl Chenet
