reportbug does have a GUI (Gtk-based) and a desktop file, but the GUI
requires python-gtk2 and python-vte which the reportbug package only
suggests.  Maybe the GUI code and desktop file should be moved to a new
package, reportbug-gtk, which depends on them.  Either way, this GUI
does support bug scripts and is therefore a better candidate for the
desktop task.
