Merging this bug with 417256 and thus downgrading it to wishlist.

I really doubt that. Just a few packages use this feature and if you as
a maintainer are really missing some information, you can always ask the
submitter for it.

You say that bugs with rng lack of important information and that many
of them are useless. Could you please backup this claim by a few
examples? I've reported many bugs so far and seldom found that the stuff
which was added automatically provided any useful information regarding
this bug. In contrast, I was pretty annoyed by some packages abusing
this feature. I don't know which package it was (I think it was XServer)
but I had to read a few pages of presubj and my bugreport was full of
useless config crap.


Cheers,

Bastian
