Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I wanted to report a kernel bug, and tried to specify "linux" as a
package (I since figured out that I need to run `reportbug kernel`
instead). This causes an endless loop:
host ~ # reportbug -u text linux
Running 'reportbug' as root is probably insecure! Continue [y|N|q|?]? y

This issue is reproducible both on jessie and stretch, though only the stretch
reportbug will print the "E: No packages found" message.
