[Reportbug-maint] Bug#835396: reportbug: detect ITPs on packages that were removed, mention reintroducing-pkgs docs

[Paul Wise]

Package: reportbug
Severity: wishlist

Please detect ITPs on packages that were removed, mention the extra
steps needed when reintroducing removed packages (as documented in the
developers reference) and point ITPers at the old tracker.d.o pages.
The detection could be done by using the snapshot API or the PTS API.
