Bug Description
So today I got a email asking me to file a bug for a package that I am trying to get into Debian so that way it will make its way to Ubuntu
http://
When filing bug using "reportbug -B debian "
I was asked if I wanted to use the gtk interface. I said cool and yes !
but then it told me that I had to install some python lib so I did . Of cource that made bug report fail. so I launched again And then it asked me to install another python lib for spell checking. IMHO these libs should be installed by default. That way when user wants to file bug for debian they do not end up filing out 3 bug reports just to get one (because of the dependence libs)
The libs are
python-vte
python-gtkspell
Thanks

So after talking this over with the great people on the Motu team The best plain of action is to.
Find the debian maintainer
Talk to him/her about a meta package called reportbug-gtk (If there is not one that is)
Optional: Add session installer so if things are not installed it installs for you this would also take care of the multiple restarts of reportbug .
Make a small binary file called debian-bug that would just launch reportbug-gtk -B debian
