Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.3
Severity: normal

In following transcript the libqglviewer is a proper source package name. In this context, I believe,
reportbug shall use it, instead of expecting binary package.

arturcz at szczaw:~$ reportbug wnpp

Please change your locale if this is incorrect.

Using '"Artur R. Czechowski" <arturcz at hell.pl>' as your from address.
Will send report to Debian (per lsb_release).
What sort of request is this? (If none of these things mean anything to you, or you are trying to report
a bug in an existing package, please press Enter to exit reportbug.)

1 ITP  This is an `Intent To Package'. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL
       in such a report.
2 O    The package has been `Orphaned'. It needs a new maintainer as soon as possible.
3 RFA  This is a `Request for Adoption'. Due to lack of time, resources, interest or something similar,
       the current maintainer is asking for someone else to maintain this package. They will maintain it
       in the meantime, but perhaps not in the best possible way. In short: the package needs a new
       maintainer.
4 RFH  This is a `Request For Help'. The current maintainer wants to continue to maintain this package,
       but they needs some help to do this, because their time is limited or the package is quite big
       and needs several maintainers.
5 RFP  This is a `Request For Package'. You have found an interesting piece of software and would like
       someone else to maintain it for Debian. Please submit a package description along with copyright
       and URL in such a report.
