Comment 7 for bug 228183

Then keep a package with querybts, and you can even call it reportbug if you want - but /usr/bin/reportbug has to go. As long as it's there, people will be sending bug reports to the ubuntu mailing lists, believing they're doing their part to improve the world, and ticking off the folks on the list.

It's just plain rude to stick a tool on a naive user's system, tell him it does something other than what it really does, but keep it around just because the real experts know how to work around it.
