** Summary changed:
- 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/app.crash' should still allow manual bug filing
+ 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/app.crash' (and even more so, 'apport-cli -c
/var/crash/app.crash') should still allow manual bug filing
** Description changed:
- The crash database work has made it much harder for users to enable
- apport bug filing for crashes, even for those who could otherwise
- contribute useful bug reports. "Comment out line 23 of
- /etc/apport/crashdb.conf" is not particularly straightforward.

+ WORKAROUND:
+ comment out line 23 ("'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],") in
'/etc/apport/crashdb.conf'.

- One thing that would mitigate this is if users could still run 'ubuntu-
- bug /var/crash/application.crash' to manually submit a bug report about
- a given crash. The fact that this is also disabled by the crashdb
- settings is a tad inconvenient. I think the manual command should be
- allowed to work even post-release.

quietly exits without explanation after pressing the 'S' key instead of sending
a crash report, as stated in duplicate bug #992064).
