Dear Maintainer, `reportbug` should catch SIGINT, save the current report in a temporary location (maybe not DRAFTPATH because it might be `/tmp/`, but `/var/tmp/`) and inform the user about that location.
why? the only point where it matters, is the last step at the menu asking to submit the report, and there is already an option to save the current draft and exit. If you press Ctrl+c, then it's your fault. you can customize this path; all these reports start to be kinda annoying, mostly because you didnt spend *any* time reading the doc or previous reports and you're wasting a big chunk of my time.

I just waisted a big chunk of my time being force to deal with a program that doesn't have an intuitive interface and feedback and requires to read a large pile of docs just to get a simple report filed. It's just two sides of the same medal. I want to improve the experience of Debian users - if that's time wasting for you, you took the wrong responsibility as package maintainer. RTFM isn't a generic argument to leave users with something that "just works" or that "a lot of people are using without problems".
it is not intuitive *for you*, that doesnt mean that's an absolute statement for all reportbug users. no it's not: if you dont read the doc, how are you supposed to know what the tool supports? just by having an 'intuitive interface'? sadly that's not enough in every case. great! start providing patches, else you are just trying to prove you're right, while tons of other people dont agree/feel the same with your statements and you're doing nothing concretely to improve that experience you seem to care so much. I guess we can discuss this back when you'll be a package maintainer. Time was spent writing that documentation, so maybe you can be a little less disrespectful of it and actually read it. Again, I'm wasting a lot of time with all this replies (which are really not helping making reportbug any better), time I am diverting for actual debian work. So refrain for reply any further until you have understood how reportbug works by reading its doc, and eventually consult a user-support forum like debian-users mailing list for followup clarifications.
