[Reportbug-maint] Bug#816375: reportbug: extis badly with --draft= option and non existing directory

[Gaetano Guerriero]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.6
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

reportbug exits with an uncatched exception and cryptic error when using
--draft= option with a non existing directory. 

$ reportbug --draft=/tmp/non-existing
  Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2247, in <module>
          main()
      File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1062, in main
          print "The directory % does not exist; exiting." % options.draftpath
  TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str

This is due to an error in format string.

The attached patch fixes the issue.
