Package: reportbug
Version: 3.13
Severity: normal

Hi again,

The --template option still leads to interactive or unexpected output.

Case 1:

 $ reportbug --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc=none -q exim4
 Include extended configuration information?

This interactiveness breaks debian-bug.

Case 2:

 $ reportbug --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc=none -q reportbug
  Common issues with reportbug:

  EMAIL ADDRESS SETTING: See the manual page reportbug(1) for how to set
     your email address (i.e. the address that appears in the "From:"
     header), if reportbug is unable to correctly figure it out for you.

     Note that some mail systems will further rewrite the address
     displayed by reportbug when it starts.

  EDITORS: See the manual page reportbug(1) for how to choose an editor.
     You probably will want to have this setting for other tools as
     well.  As an alternative, some mail programs, such as "mutt", can
     be configured to be used as the editor for your report, which you
     may find preferable.
 (END)

This output is unexpected and also breaks --template.  Perhaps you could
create a new option called --back-end or --debian-bug or --non-interactive
as a reminder.

Thanks.
Peter
