I doubt that's true in most cases:  The information needed to
finding the bug is a (possibly small) subset of the whole.

I don't see how additionally providing a stripped down version of
paludis info hurts anybody, as the subset either holds what the
wrangler needs or it doesn't, in which case they can still request
more information for the reporter.

I suggest that you take this as a usability request from the users
of your software.  Isn't that a great chance to make several people
happier every day in the future by just a few lines of code on your end?
Would they raise their voice if it did not matter?
