Thanks for reportbug, it is a great social networking tool!

I was wondering if reportbug could be a little more verbose when
reporting bugs against ftp.debian.org ...

$ reportbug ftp.debian.org
...
What sort of request is this? (If none of these things mean anything to
you, or you are trying to report a bug in an existing package, please
press Enter to exit reportbug.)

 1 ANAIS     Package removal - Architecture Not Allowed In Source.
 2 ICE       Package removal - Internal Compiler Error.
 3 NBS       Package removal - Not Built [by] Source.
 4 NPOASR    Package removal - Never Part Of A Stable Release.
 5 NVIU      Package removal - Newer Version In Unstable.
 6 ROM       Package removal - Request Of Maintainer.
 7 ROP       Package removal - Request of Porter.
 8 RoQA      Package removal - Requested by the QA team.
 9 other     Not a package removal request, report other problems.
10 override  Change override request.

It walked me through a few steps, and I can guess a bit at what a lot of
these mean, but it was not obvious to me weather I should select NBS,
ANAIS or NVIU to remove some packages ...

I had a package "u-boot" that was no longer provided on some
architectures (armhf and mips) ... but should it be removed from
testing, so that it can migrate to testing?  Should it be removed from
unstable, because the source in testing currently builds this package?
If I pick the wrong one, will it end up removing the source package too?

Thankfully, I do not make these sorts of ftp.debian.org requests very
often... so it would be nice if reportbug nudged me a little more in the
right direction, either by being a little more verbose here, or
providing a link to more detailed information, asking a few more leading
questions, etc.

live well,
