Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Followup-For: Bug #672487

I was trying to report bug about libvirt-bin and ended with following python error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
Maintainer for libvirt-bin is 'Debian Libvirt Maintainers <pkg-libvirt-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>'.
Looking up dependencies of libvirt-bin...
Getting changed configuration files...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2206, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1080, in main
    return iface.user_interface()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1819, in user_interface
    conftext = conftext + u'%s %s\n' % (f, confinfo[f])
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)
