Indeed 'upstreamizing' apport has been on my TODO list for a loong
time already, especially since it can run on a vanilla upstream kernel
(since 2.6.22 IIRC). However, there are still Ubuntu specific things
in some auxiliary programs like the chroot builders and the retracer.
I guess I'll just rip those out from the upstream trunk and only keep
them in the ubuntu branch, until I find a way to generalize them.

Thanks for the poke. It's nice to know that apport has an use outside
of Ubuntu! :)
