[Reportbug-maint] Bug#575920: reportbug: ask for the version of the package to be reported as buggy

[Łukasz Stelmach]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.10.2
Severity: wishlist

Yesterday I managed to fix a problem with nvidia-glx package.
I installed the version from the unstable repository. The I filed a
bug report about, as I was hoping, the older buggy version. Because
reportbug generates a template with a fat sing "Please type etc." and
I am not too interested in details of Debian bug reporting process
I don't even look above that line. I should have. The bug was filed
against the unstable version which wasn't my intention nad got closed
immediatelly.

I wish report bug explicitly asked a question

"File the report against version X.Y.Z [Y|n]:"

In most cases users hit [Enter]. It'd be closer to other bug tracking
systems wher users choose on their own the version to be reported
as buggy.
