I think you can set something like:

max_attachment_size 0;

in /etc/reportbug.conf, and that might disallow all attachments. [It
might cause other problems too, though, because that's not what that
option was designed for.]

Dunno. This might be a valid feature request for reportbug to have a
mode which prompts for each file attached to make sure it's OK to
attach.

If you you could write up such a feature request and file it against the
reportbug package using reportbug, it might get addressed.

You could say she lived on the edge... Well, maybe not exactly on the edge,
just close enough to watch other people fall off.
