IMHO, once you use bug/reportbug on a package with Origin: foo, the tool should 1. Check /etc/origin/foo for additional data and use that. If that works, we're set. 2. Otherwise, try "apt-get install origin-foo" piping all output to /dev/null. This will work if the bug-reporter is root, and the apt-sources contain the repository in question. 3. Same as 1. 4. Ask the user for help (either she ensures that origin-foo will get installed, or she gives the Bug-fields by hand). One should be able to turn step 2 on and off, perhaps defaulting to off, as it is mildly intrusive. > We could have reportbug et al should just complain loudly about > about a missing origin, but this doesn't seem like an optimal > solution. Step 4, only used if all other things fail. -- Robbe
