[Reportbug-maint] Bug#644194: reportbug: Reports source bugs against binaries

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: reportbug
Severity: normal

If you use reportbug to report a bug against a source package P,
it uses a "Package: P" header, although it should use either
"Source: P" or "Package: src:P".

#debian-devel at 21:34 UTC+0200 today:

<Q_> dondelelcaro: Do you know of any problems with filing a bug against "Package: sourcepackage"?
<Q_> Or other reasons why bugs sometimes don
<Q_> 't show up
<dondelelcaro> Q_: that actually files a bug against the binary package sourcepackage
<dondelelcaro> Q_: you want Source: sourcepackage or Package: src:sourcepackage
<jcristau> if there's no binary package sourcepackage then aren't those the same?
<juliank> dondelelcaro: Someone should probably fix reportbug then, as that does that.
