[Reportbug-maint] Bug#695778: please use proper (annotated) tags in GIT repo of reportbug

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4
Severity: wishlist

$> git describe       
6.0-121-g391a392

$> git describe --tags
6.4.3                 

current tags post 6.0 are the "lightweight" ones (made by default with 'git
tag' without any -m or -s) -- they have no meta information (author, date), and
thus e.g. are not even used by git describe by default.

Cheers,
