Oh, it's been a while (no a buildd maintainer anymore)… The point of
this feature was to make it quick(er) to report issues seen on buildds,

Cyril, should we leave or remove the System Information section when
using --from-buildd ?

Bug#865812: reportbug --from-buildd shouldn't include system information

[Adrian Bunk]

Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.7
Severity: normal

When using --from-buildd, there is no point in including
the information from the system where reportbug is running.
