I agree fully in that a) a bug reporting utility should have priority
standard and b) it should be reportbug - I haven't used bug for a long
time now; the querybts script alone make it worthwhile.

I would expect python on any reasonable Unix-like system these days.
Personally I'd even say `What the F*!<+ is going on, where is python' if
I didn't find it, so I'd even say it's important. But perhaps I do not
yet qualify as an experienced Unix person ;-)
