I have read quite some bug scripts today.  I am kind of wondering (maybe jsut 
my imagination being limited) why you aren't just unconditionally including 
those data instead of having a interactive bug script?

instead use presubj + script.

(I have today filed 3 bugs about making some bug scripts non-interactive -

You neither can ever send to the FPU, nor should ever disable the password on
