Bug#1004382: /usr/bin/reportbug: Bogus "please wait to receive the bug tracking number" when not sending in paranoid mode

[Adam Dinwoodie <debian-reportbug@post.dinwoodie.org>]

Package: reportbug
Version: 11.3.0
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/reportbug

Dear Maintainer,

When using reportbug in paranoid mode (or at least with "ui urwid" and
"paranoid" specified in ~/.reportbugrc), reportbug correctly displays
the email to the user before sending it, and asks the user if the report
is satisfactory.  If the user objects to the message, as well as
accurately reporting that the message has been saved to a temporary
file, reportbug also tells the user:

> If you want to provide additional information, please wait to receive
> the bug tracking number via email; you may then send any extra
> information to ...

This implies -- incorrectly -- that the bug report has been sent and
that the user should expect to receive a bug tracking number.  In this
circumstance, reportbug should not show this message.

Kind regards,

Adam
