What's the advantage over bug-buddy? Can't bug-buddy be extended to implement similar functionality? Would it make sense to integrate a kernel level SEGV handler instead of going via libgnomeui? I was under the impression that this is what the Ubuntu folks achieved [1]; this seems more generic as it would cover other DE (Xfce, KDE) but also other application crashes such as web server, databases etc. If it's bound to GNOME, it's of course fine in pkg-gnome but you might want to name it gdebreaper or gnome-deb-RIP to reflect this.
