Agreed. I thought of that, but then because of part #2 below I combined
them into this single request.

But you are right, so I'll clone this part of the wishlist and request
from zsh autocompletion of bts commands, and options (especially
severity levels and valid tags).

What I really want is a way to get bug lists and bug information at the
console, as is done with reportbug, rather then in a web browser using
sensible-browser. And yes, I think there is a difference between the
command line reportbug interface, and looking at the bug pages through a
text-based web browser. :-)
