Public bug reported:
Unfortunately, apport is itself buggy...
1. It crashes on invokation with a non-existant pkg name: Try "$ ubuntu-bug
ubuntu-bug" -> crash
2. It's name does not match the command name - an average user would not be
able to find out that ubuntu-bug's pkg name is 'apport'
3. It does not automagically install sufficient debug packages for itself.
After installing dbg pkgs, the trace is still not useful, and when I click on
"list of additional debug packages" it shows me debug pkgs are missing for
'/usr/bin/python2.7' - but 'python2.7-dbg' is installed.
Another bug, but in the package system: "dpkg --list '*notif*' cuts off
long package names, making it difficult for average users to produce bug
reports. I suggest shortening the package names or fixing 'dpkg', but
the latter would mean it would differ from the Debian version.
