Package: reportbug
Version: 4.5
Severity: wishlist

The configuration of reportbug could be improved if it offered a way to
enable "smtptls" during the MTA configuration. Like this (just after the
smtpuser configuration):

  Do your SMTP host asks for TLS auth? [y|N]

For the moment, the .reportbugrc must be edited by hand in order to add
the line:
smtptls

Not so intuitive.
