Now that reportbug 6.x is working well and reportbug 7.x is broken with GUI,
wouldn't it be better if we just let reportbug 6 enter stretch?
I took a try and the error message is broken as well. It suggests that the user
should install python-vte (Python 2 version!), which is misleading and useless.
Also there is no such a package like "python3-vte".
Also, I didn't find a way to start a ncurses frontend. Neither the
--help message
nor the man page mentioned it. All I have is the fallback to "text" frontend.
In short I don't think the current reportbug 7 is suitable for stretch.
