Status in apport source package in Trusty:

Bug description:
TEST CASE
---------
Verify that /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/powerpc.py exists after
installing the version of the package from -proposed.
For bonus points run apport-cli on a powerpc system and verify that
the report contains information in the apport hook.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL
--------------------
We are just adding in a new general hook to apport that only runs on systems
with an arch of ppc64 or ppc64le so there is little chance of regression.
On power/ppc64el system, we would need to enhance current apport reporting
tool which some information like file content or commands output including
"/proc/device-tree/"
"/proc/loadavg"
"/proc/locks"
"/proc/misc"
"/proc/swaps"
"/proc/version"
"/dev/nvram"
"/var/log/platform"
"ppc64_cpu --smt"
"ppc64_cpu --cores-present"
"ppc64_cpu --cores-on"
"ppc64_cpu --run-mode"
"ppc64_cpu --frequency"
"ppc64_cpu --dscr"
Readme says : For complete instructions, see
/usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt but
cat: /usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt: No such file or directory
Do I understand correctly I would need to create a file (for example)
named : /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/power.py ?
Other questions:
Do you have common functions to put output of commands in logfile ?
do you have common functions to copy config file tree content to log file or
should I create the list of file and copy content of each file to the logfile ?
