Bug Description

Binary package hint: reportbug

When starting reportbug from the command line without an ~/.reportbugrc file and the -Bdebian option, you are prompted if you want to use GTK or text. If you select GTK, you get the warning about not supporting ubuntu BTS even though I passed -Bdebian on the command line. Subsequent attempts work once the .reportbugrc file is created.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Since this is meant as a developer's tool, and not as a user's tool, there is a /etc/reportbug.conf that you set your specifics in. Did you set this file up before using reportbug?

No, it should just have the defaults. Regardless of my settings
though, when I select GTK and Debian in the cli, it should pass that
to the GUI. As I said, it worked the second time.
