I found the wild goose!

Your Python crashes are owned by vorlon:vorlon, which is why whoopsie
cannot read them. I'm guessing that /var/crash doesn't have the 3777
permissions that would allow inheriting the whoopsie GID. My own system
has 1777, whereas fresh containers seem to be correctly using 3777.

It seems to boil down to a race condition between the apport postinst
and the whoopsie postinst, the latter correctly chmoding /var/crash to
3777 *if it creates it*. We should fix the apport postinst to use the
proper permissions and fix existing installs.
