[Reportbug-maint] Bug#645870: reportbug: Doesn't parse /etc/apt/preferences correctly

[Jan Huijsmans]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.2.2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When reporting a bug I noticed the 'APT prefers' line below, when
the content of /etc/apt/preferences is as included below.

It doesn't seem to ignore the commented out lines and/or can't
handle preferences for specified packages.

Greetings,

Jan Huijsmans
