Package: reportbug
Version: 3.12
Severity: important

Hi,

This refers to http://bugs.debian.org/309598

If reportbug is started without an ~/.reportbugrc file, an interactive
prompt may appear concerning vi:

 You appear to be using the "vi" editor, which is not suited for new users. You
 probably want to change this setting by using "update-alternatives --config
 editor" as root. Do you want to continue? [y|N|q|?]? 

This occurs even when the command line option --template is used, which
should be completely non-interactive.  Unfortunately, the current
behaviour breaks debian-el's `M-x debian-bug' Emacs command which calls
reportbug like so:

$ reportbug --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc=none -q reportbug

Can the interactiveness be avoided when the --template switch is used?

The bug severity reflects the impact on another package rather than on
reportbug itself, so I'm not too sure about it.  But it doesn't matter
because you'll fix this shortly anyway, right?  ;-)

Thanks!

Peter
