Comment 58 for bug 7839

I too express disbelif that reportbug still is not integrated into the rest of the Ubuntu bug reporting infrastructure. I've come to expect now, that it never will.

Whilst reportbug is useless for reporting bugs to Ubuntu, it is extremely useful for peole like myself that provide 3rd party Ubuntu repositories. Should you run reportbug on one of my packages, it actually works, and sends the email to an adress that is monitored for bugs on a daily basis. Removal of reportbug, would castarate my bug reporting system, because Ubuntu appears to rather work on something else.

Whilst I'd rather see reportbug fixed - It could be set up to end email to a specifc address for bugs rather then the mailing list.
