[Reportbug-maint] Bug#548415: reportbug: Package upgrade information in bug reports

[Mike Hommey]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I was just writing a bug report on the new nautilus, looking in dpkg.log
to know what version I had before the upgrade, and then I got wondering
if that wouldn't be an interesting information to have by default in
bug reports, for both the package the user reports the bug against, and
all its dependencies, indicating both the previous version and when the
upgrade happened.

If space is considered a problem, I'd say this information could replace
the packages descriptions, which are IMHO pretty useless to the package
maintainers.

What do you think?

Mike
