patch to remove 'base' pseudo package

[Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch>]

Hello,

the attached patch implements the removal of the 'base' pseudo package 
from reportbug.

Additionally I'd like to ask if it'd be OK to at the same time reassign 
the existing few bug reports from the 'base' package to the 'general' 
package or to more specific packages (most of the 'base' bugs seem to 
concern the kernel).

Thanks,
*t
