Package: reportbug
Version: 3.17
Severity: normal

I can't seem to pipe in a bunch of "no"s:

    % yes N | reportbug --query-only xpdf ; echo $?
    1           # there's a 5-10 second pause before the '1' shows up.

Is 'reportbug' using standard input?  I skimmed the code, (but am not
expert in Python), and got the impression that it used some form of raw
input function that was lower level than standard input.

Note: this is related to this bug:

 #222621  /usr/bin/querybts: Could provide option to list all bugs without user 
interaction
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=222621

...which I'd commented on last April, adding a shell script kludge. 
It's odd since 'querybts' works fine with a 'yes' pipe.
