[Reportbug-maint] Bug#684540: Control: pseudo-headers are promoted to real headers

[Paul Wise]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.2
Severity: normal

I tried to use the new[1] Control: pseudo-headers but reportbug promoted
them to normal mail headers. According to don, they are pseudo-headers:

<pabs> dondelelcaro: are the Control: things headers, pseudo-headers or both? reportbug seems to promote them to real headers
<dondelelcaro> pabs: they're pseudoheaders
<dondelelcaro> it's possible that reportbug just doesn't know about them
<pabs> ok, will file a bug

I don't know if a fix for this would be accepted by the release team,
but it would be nice if this were to be fixed in wheezy.
