Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Disconnect from the internet
2. from a terminal, run "ubuntu-bug some-package"

Expected result: should immediately warn me that I am not connected to
the internet.

Observed result: wastes my time collecting bug data and, in some cases
depending on the package, prompting for the sudo password. Only after
that, when it tries to connect to send the bug report, does it realize
there's no internet connection and it issues an error saying so.

Also note that there's no "Retry" button, which makes the issue worse.
