Package: reportbug Version: 7.9.0 Severity: wishlist Sometimes when I am on a bug page I want to file another bug, but against the source package, so I copy-paste src:foo but then reportbug doesn't accept that on the command-line.
Similarly when I want to report a bug against a source package, I go to a terminal and type `reportbug src:foo` since I very rarely remember the --source option exists and src:foo is more familiar from BTS pages. Similarly when I start reportbug without arguments I then sometimes want to be able to report a bug against a source package but reportbug doesn't accept src:foo in the package selection prompt. It would be nice to have a src: shortcut for --source option and a src: shortcut for the package name selection prompt. $ reportbug Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
