That'd be good, yes.

The situation where I regularly ran into this was a script that wraps
around reportbug, submittodebian (in ubuntu-dev-tools) which generates a
debdiff, and uses the changelog entry as starting point for the bug
report.

submittodebian was clearly originally written by someone not using mua
mode, as it uses --attach. I've hacked around this in submittodebian, by
minimally parsing .reportbugrc and falling back to --include if I detect
MUA mode.
