RNG doesn't generate empty pseudo headers anymore. But the problem was
not debbugs ignoring the empty Version:-line (which would be fine), but
the whole rest after this line including the severity.

I think it should be more robust against such cases. If there is a
stop/quit/--/ etc line in the mail, it could try to process as much of
the found pseudoheaders above this line as possible. This shouldn't be
hard to implement and wouldn't hurt either.

But anyway, this bug is fixed on my side, so do whatever you want with
this hint :)


Cheers,

Bastian
