[Reportbug-maint] Bug#573558: reportbug: should warn when given -K without --gpg or --pgp

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.10.2
Severity: normal

Specifying they key to be used for a signed email with -K, but not passing the
 --gpg or --pgp options, results in an unsigned email being submitted without
warning. At the very least, reportbug should warn that the mail will be
unsigned, and at best should try to guess which type of signature the user
intended. Currently by the time it's clear that the mail will not be signed,
it's too late anyway.
