Package: reportbug
Version: 3.29.3
Severity: normal

Dear Debian Developers,

I was about to write a "Howto report bugs the Debian way", when I 
stumbled over a bug in reportbug itself.

When I try to report a bug on reportbug itself from Etch (version 
3.29.3, see above), it suggests that I upgrade to the version in Sid 
(3.29.5) first. The output is:

Your version (3.29.3) of reportbug appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:
  unstable: 3.29.5
Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]?

Since an update/dist-upgrade from Etch doesn't offer this, I consider 
this to be a bug in reportbug itself, right?

Thanks and kind regards,
wjl aka Wolfgang Lonien
