Bug scripts are free to use interactive actions, so this is not a bug in
apt. On the reportbug side, non-interactive report generation was not
possible until the "--no-bug-script" option was implemented in 2010.
This was introduced in reportbug 4.12. Since then, this is also
documented in the manpage:
