May be, but I use testing. And what You suggest is to use from Sid.

Or You suggest to drop the bug reports for testing packages?

In any way, I disagree w/ such policy - if in testing was a newer
version - no question, but You suggest me to move to unstable at all!
What will You recommend for the stable users?!

Therefore, I suppose reportbug misleads users telling them about
outdated packages when it is not so.
