[Reportbug-maint] Bug#614266: reportbug: new option: querying external machines for confs/installation info of package

[Artur Górniak]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.48
Severity: wishlist

I am proposing to add a new option for bug reporting package from some other
machines using for example ssh to get dependencies/configuration files
of the package.

The idea is to use one machine with a proper mail/bugreport configuration
to report bugs in packages in all other systems.
Usefull for example in: embeded, virtual, multiple admins systems.
