This question pops up when "dpkg --status <packagename>" fails. It could 
happen either because the package is not installed, or because the 
package is installed for more than one architecture.

This is due to broken logic in bin/reportbug, around line 1428:

                    src = package
                    # ...
                            package = ui.menu(
                                'Which of the following packages is the bug in?',
                                packages, empty_ok=True,
                                prompt='Select one of these packages: ')
                    # ...
                    if package != src:
		    	# ...
                    elif len(packages) > 1:
                        issource = True

So if you choose the same package as you chose originally on the command 
line, issource will be incorrectly set to True.
