The script is capable of using a local SMTP server to relay the bug report email, instead of the common fallback behavior of using Debian's public bug-only SMTP server. You could run a local SMTP server that holds outgoing mail instead of delivering it, then inspect the outbox after reportbug sends something.

I wonder how to actually test this package without sending additional bugs.

I do not have sensible-utils installed

I had similar issue submitting, but in my case it didn't even have text in the body of message, so I had to send mail with the description myself. Did you have sensible-utils installed?

I used reportbug to submit a bug report today. I entered some text at the "Briefly describe the problem (max. 100 characters allowed). This will be the bug email subject [...]' prompt, which was accepted without error.

This eventually led to submitting https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1082434 which was sent with no subject.

I'd wager this misbehavior doesn't exist when running the package on debian, so I suspect the problem is arch-specific.

I think this should now optdepend on sensible-editor instead of the whole suite of sensible-utils. (The latter, formerly unified package has been split into subpackages.)

Looks like I've been made maintainer of this package… I guess the maintainer quit. I've rewritten the package and it's now up to date with proper dependencies.

@tuxayo, I have now packaged python-debianbts so there are no more missing dependencies. However, the package is out of date and thus the source no longer exists. It's changed a lot since 2017, so updating it would almost be a rewrite. To get the package to build with the old version, you can change the source to the latest Debian Snapshot with this version of the package still available:
