Bug Description
I just experienced a bug in the canonicaldirectory lens. Apport offered to report a bug, then determined that canonicaldirectory came from a third-party package and told me to remove it. There would be no point to removing it, since there is no official alternative on which a bug could be reported.
1. apport should not offer to report bugs on third party packages, because it won't actually report bugs on third party packages
2. apport should not suggest I remove third-party packages where there is no corresponding package in the main archive
