reportbug tries to send email to ubuntu-users. If bug reports
don't belong on ubuntu-users, someone should fix reportbug
not to do that!

Matthew Flaschen:

| reportbug.  If the SMTP server is disabled, they will receive no formal

If you shouldn't use reportbug, then reportbug should be replaced
with a wrapper script that says "don't use reportbug, do <whatever>."
It's crazy to have an installed tool that claims to report a bug
if thee's no such thing.

I have no idea how Ubuntu bugs are really supposed to be handled, and
if reportbug really is deprecated. But if it is, it had better say so!
