Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.3
Severity: normal

_Steps to reproduce_

Invoke reportbug with a binary package name which fulfills the following
conditions:

 - it is not a source package name at the same time
 - you have this package installed for multiple architectures

Two packages which match these criteria on my system are libgl1-mesa-dri and
gcc-4.7-base.

_Expected behaviour_

Reportbug detects that all different architectures of this package actually
are the same bug reporting target and the user does not have to select one of
these packages.

_Actual behaviour_

Reportbug gives the following question:

----
Which of the following installed packages is the bug in?

1 gcc-4.7-base  GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection (base package)

2 gcc-4.7-base  GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection (base package)

3 gcc-4.7-base  Uninstalled/non-existent package

Select one of these packages:
