Package: reportbug
Version: 3.38
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I want to report on a package that is not installed locally (but on
another system where I can't/don't want to use reportbug for some
reason) reportbug lets me choose the package I want to make the report.
Unfortunately, due to lack of detail (e.g. distribution and package
version), it displays the same package several times.

E.g. reportbug libnss-mysql-bg:

Which of the following packages is the bug in?
1 libnss-mysql-bg  NSS module for using MySQL as a naming service
2 libnss-mysql-bg  NSS module for using MySQL as a naming service
3 libnss-mysql-bg  NSS module for using MySQL as a naming service

Hmm, there is one from etch, testing and unstable, respectively. But
which is which? Or is one for the source package?

A display like

Which of the following packages is the bug in?
1 mypkg(1.2-3/stable)  My Favorite Package
2 mypkg(1.2.1-1.2/testing)  My Favorite Package
3 mypkg(1.99-0exp3/experimental)  My Favorite Package

would be more helpful.
