Package: reportbug Version: 6.4.4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Despite my best efforts, I am unable to persuade reportbug to use a proxy. On a machine with no direct internet access: michael@hugin:~$ http_proxy=http://proxy:3128/ reportbug reportbug *** Welcome to reportbug.

There was a long pause while attempting to query the BTS (but not while consulting madison, go figure).
