Actually, this script should use bash:
reportbug (3.23) unstable; urgency=medium
[...]
* Document that handling scripts must use #!/bin/bash to use getkey and
yesno--this has always been the case since the days of bug, but never was
documented anywhere. (Closes: #294954)

See /usr/share/doc/reportbug/README.developers.gz:
While the script is executed, the following shell functions are
available ONLY IF IT IS RUN UNDER /bin/bash::
getkey - asks for a key
yesno <prompt> "yep"|"nop" - ask for a yes/no answer (with i18n)
leaves response as yep or nop
in REPLY. The second argument is
the default.
