I'm afraid that reportbug has no mechanism for excluding modified conffiles from being included in the bug report.
The only thing I can advise is that users never ever run reportbug as root, and that they should be aware of the contents of the email they are sending. Indeed, if run as root, reportbug will prompt the user to continue, having first printed: "Running 'reportbug' as root is probably insecure!" The user is then asked whether they wish to continue. -- Paul Martin <p...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
