[Reportbug-maint] Bug#585544: reportbug: exits without explanation if python-gtkspell is not installed

[Maik Zumstrull]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.2
Severity: normal

reportbug suggests python-gtk2 and python-gtkspell, and the GTK UI needs both
to function. If python-gtk2 is installed and python-gtkspell is not (the
dependencies allow this), the GTK UI starts and the first few dialog pages
work, but when it tries to create the first page with a spell-checked text
entry field, it exits with no visible message. I'm not sure this can be fixed
with dependencies (it would need a conditional dependency like "if python-gtk2
is installed, which is optional, then depend on python-gtkspell"), but an error
message would be nice.
