** Summary changed:

- requestsync crashed with EOFError, when ending input with ctrl-d / Allow editing of report
+ requestsync crashed with EOFError, when ending input with ctrl-d / allow editing of report

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
  
  I think I've pressed Ctrl-D to end/submit the input for "Explanation of
  the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped".
  
  Instead, an empty line is expected to end the text, which is also confusing IMHO.
  Not talking about the comfort of editing in raw_input()-lines.
  
  Therefore I've changed requestsync to allow the user to edit the report
  in a temporary file, using sensible-editor.
  
  I'll look into pushing this to the u-d-t trunk or provide the branch
  here.
