Package: reportbug
Version: 6.3
Severity: normal

I wanted to report a bug against libcmor2, which I don't have installed 
on my system:
| $ reportbug libcmor2
| The signature option is ignored when using an MUA.

| Getting status for libcmor2...
| Which of the following packages is the bug in?
| Just press ENTER to exit reportbug.
|
| 1 libcmor-dev  Development files for Climate Model Output Rewriter
|
| 2 libcmor2     Climate Model Output Rewriter library
|
| 3 python-cmor  Python interface to CMOR
|
| Select one of these packages:

Hmpf. Frist of all, why reportbug is asking me this in the first place? 
I already said at the command line that "libcmor2" is the package I'm 
interested in, and this name in unambiguous (there's no source package 
with such name).

But anyway, I chose "2", answered a few more questiones, then reportbug 
spawned mutt with the following mail template:
| Source: libcmor2
| Version: 2.8.0-1
| Severity: important

That should be "Package: libcmor2", not "Source: libcmor2".
