another option would be to simply make apport use the manifest files on cdimage or launchpad or provide another way of handling this data remotely ... after all whoopsie and apport rely on being able to send the reports to a server so a usable network connection exists at some point. this would also help for future use of apport on snappy personal or snappy based phone images where we have neither apt nor dpkg available at all.

The partition it currently resides in did not include this requirement when their size was specified. Possible solutions include generating the list dynamically as part of the writable partition or including a smaller simpler manifest.
