[Reportbug-maint] Bug#579596: reportbug: not accurate check for "<pkg>: subject"

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.1
Severity: normal

<KiBi> morph: I'm a bit wondering why sometimes the package name isn't mentioned in the subject. It seems to happen with long subjects; would that be an accurate observation or just a coincidence?
<morph> KiBi: about the subject, the <pkg> is prepended only if not in expert mode
<morph> but I think you're using almost always the same conf...
<KiBi> I am indeed
<KiBi> morph: http://paste.debian.net/70765/
<morph> KiBi: you pass the subject with --subject right?
<KiBi> No, I type it at the subject prompt.

<KiBi> morph: http://paste.debian.net/70766/
<morph> KiBi: that's the curpit: re.match(r"\S+:\s", subject)

        if package != 'wnpp' and prompted and mode < MODE_EXPERT:
            if foundfile:
                subject = foundfile + ": " + subject
                ewrite("Rewriting subject to '%s'\n", subject)
            elif (not re.match(r"\S+:\s", subject) and package not in subject):
                subject = package + ": " + subject
                ewrite("Rewriting subject to '%s'\n", subject)
