I've seen "truncated" report files being listed as `UnreportableReason`. In that case showing the reporting dialog doesn't make sense. I doubt that users who are not apport developers pay attention to that field without any further feedback/interaction from the apport dialog, but they should since if they're already willing to report bugs, they're most likely willing to update outdated packages.

Displaying the dialog in that case doesn't make too much sense because the issue can't be reported with useful information and the user should either not be annoyed or get the opportunity to deactivate the displaying of the `apport-gtk` dialog if the report is broken.
