We’d like to fix this with http://bugs.debian.org/526110 because the
information is very valuable for debugging problems. Unfortunately,
there was no reply from the reportbug upstream side yet. If you know how
to fast-track the release of a new version of reportbug with that patch,
please let me know… :)

I’ll let Zbigniew comment on that, given that he already pushed the last
documentation request upstream directly. Thanks!
