Subject: reportbug: package not updated in stable repository
Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.6+devuan2.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This package should have a version of its most up-to-date features
backported to the stable repository.

Earlier today, I sent a bug report, which probably only should have gone
to devuan and not debian, but because I was using devuan stable, it went
to debian only. This isn't great for relations between debian and
devuan, but more important, it makes bug reporters (eg. me) look bad and
incompetent, which really tees me off.

Just in case the obvious isn't obvious enough, the configured recipient
email address isn't a feature that requires any dependencies in the
testing repository, and can be easily backported using a debian quilt
patch.
