Package: debian-el
Version: 35.12
Severity: grave

My bug report via "M-x debian-bug" include authentication info:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808378

because I edit package supplied file /etc/tomcat8/tomcat-users.xml.

That come from

  (defun debian-bug-compose-report
    ...
      (debian-bug-prefill-report package severity) ;; <=== HERE

`debian-bug-prefill-report' function call external program:

  $ reportbug --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc=none 
--no-bug-script -q tomcat8

In interactive mode reportbug ask you for reviewing any modified files 
explicitly.

"M-x debian-bug" shown files content also but I see usual text like at top:

  -- System Information:

and didn't mind to scroll to part hidden bellow:

  -- Configuration Files:

I would like to see basic handler that looks for reasonable selected keywords:

  user, password, passwd, pass, 123456, host, port <== any other welcome!

and warn user that there are possible authentication data leak!

I think that this help bite 90% of authentication info data leaks.
