Looks good to me. Booted noble release ISO and followed the steps as
described.
Changed "send error reports to canonical" from "manual" to "never".
Produced a crash with `divide-by-zero` from chaos-marmosets. Apport
prompt came up but only with a "continue" button. No crash report
uploaded.
Before upgrade:
$ systemctl status apport-autoreport.service
○ apport-autoreport.service - Process error reports when automatic reporting is
enabled
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apport-autoreport.service; static)

```
This service failure might mislead user thinking that there is a
problem.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Disable auto-reporting in the system setting:
* open gnome-control-center or unity-control-center
* Switch to "Security & Privacy" panel
* Select "Diagnosticts" tab
* unselect "Send error reports to Canonical"
2. Produce a crash, e.g. by running divide-by-zero from chaos-marmosets
3. Check that apport-autoreport.service is failing as above
4. Upgrade Apport to the fixed version
5. Restart apport-autoreport.service
6. apport-autoreport.service should exit successfully
[ Where problems could occur ]
This code change touches the auto-reporting part. Failures there could
lead to less bugs being forwarded to the error tracker. This might be
noticeable when looking at the number of submissions.
