Allow package bug scripts to unconditionally stop reportbug



Hello,
since version 4.10, reportbug checks the return code of the package
bug scripts and, it != 0, ask the user if to continue or stop. This is
the way we decided to fix #382010 .

But now I'm wondering if there could be a use case of allowing the
scripts to unconditionally stop reportbug, for example using a
"special" exit code (140 f.e.) .

I don't have a strong feeling about it, and letting a program abort
reportbug without a clear explanation to users might be bad, but I'd
like to hear what do you think about it.

If a relevant number of you prefers to have this "fast way out", I'm
going and code it, else we can go on with the solution currently in
place.

Regards,
