[Reportbug-maint] Bug#591217: reportbug: python error :( for one app

[Sandro Tosi]

reassign 591217 xfe
retitle 591217 please remove Bugs field, not supported
thanks

Hello,
this is actually a problem in xfe packages; Dear xfe maintainer, could
you please remove the Bugs field from binary stanzas? they are not
supported and make reportbug errors out while trying to use that as
remote indication of where send reports.

Regards,
Sandro
