[Reportbug-maint] Bug#708066: reportbug: doesn't always preserve the bug title

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Severity: normal

reportbug doesn't always preserve the bug title entered after
the message:

  Briefly describe the problem (max. 100 characters allowed). This will be the
  bug email subject, so keep the summary as concise as possible, for example:
  "fails to send email" or "does not start with -q option specified" (enter
  Ctrl+c to exit reportbug without reporting a bug).

For instance, the following bug title

should depend on fonts-dejavu-core and fonts-dejavu-extra instead of ttf-dejavu-{core,extra}

is changed to:

texlive-fonts-extra: should depend on fonts-dejavu-core and fonts-dejavu-extra instead of ttf-dejavu-{core, extra}

when reported against texlive-fonts-extra, i.e. with a spurious space
after the comma.
