Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.7+deb9u1
Severity: important


Quack,

I'm using stable, with occasional backports. I just opened a BR using reportbug and here is its output:

Your version (0.9.7-2) of nslcd appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:
  testing: 0.9.9-1
  unstable: 0.9.9-1
Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]? y

It really make me feels I'm doing something wrong and should really upgrade before reporting anything. This is obviously wrong to suggest our users to switch to an unreleased suite.

If I proceed reportbug is able to get my APT configuration right:

-- System Information:
Debian Release: 9.4
  APT prefers stable-updates
  APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

So I guess this recommendation should be disabled when the APT policy contains 'stable' (just a guess, might be more complex than it seems).

Regards.
