reportbug (3.48) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Don Armstrong ]
  * Patch to use reportbug.debian.org MX instead of bugs.debian.org; in the same
    change, we set port to 587 for reportbug.d.o to avoid ISP filtering 25 port;
    Closes: #508659

    - added an entry to explain the changes in this version

btw, I wonder if it's best not to die horribly if reportbug is unconfigured, but rather to warn noisily that the bug reports are going to Debian? The current method is rather obstructive IMO.

Iain,

Your last comment could use some discussion on the MOTU/Ubuntu-devel mailing lists. Would you care to submit your idea to these lists?

I will unsubscribe sponsors until a consensus is met.

Thanks for bringing it up :)

Iain,

It's quite easy to pass "--bts=debian", or put it in ~/.reportbugrc. Just a warning is not enough IMHO. People tend to ignore warnings. And so far we haven't get any complaints about it.

Unsubscribing sponsors: Debian has 3.99.1 (in experimental), which should probably get merged instead.

Maybe it will. But what's the point of throwing this merge away? Unless someone steps up to do the other one, there are no guarantees that it will happen. I guess I don't understand why both can't be done.

I am uploading as it does not look like the new reportbug is going to get in. Even if it does, it's not a problem.
