[Reportbug-maint] Bug#887150: reportbug: stable-pu request: don't ask whether the current version in stable is the correct one

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.8
Severity: normal

Hi,

when filing an (old)stable-pu request, reportbug asks whether the
current version in (old)stable is the proper version. Obviously it never
is, so this question is useless and should be omitted - or the most
likely (old)stable increment version could be guessed and presented
instead.

If the version lookup is retained, it should also consider
(old)stable-proposed-updates, which might already have an update queued.
