Just to avoid confusion, in this specific case there was no need at
all to dist-upgrade. A simple apt-get upgrade would have pulled the
correct version of reportbug.

And since it has been mentioned, dist-upgrade does not break anything,
if done correctly. I had a desktop which went from etch to wheezy,
without a single reinstall, and several other machines which saw at
least three different releases, again without a single reinstall. This
is what people mean when they say that De??an is "rock-solid",
"reliable", and "durable".
