This is a crash report, though. As I said, these do not get filed to
Launchpad any more. It's debatable whether it should work in this
mode, but in general we don't want crash reports for the
non-development version on Launchpad.

All those programs still _do_ upload the crash report, just not to
Launchpad (but it does not say that anywhere). We simply changed our
primary crash database from Launchpad to errors.ubuntu.com, but that
is mostly an implementation detail.

That should happen, by the whoopsie daemon.

Right, this is a wart indeed. That's part of bug 957177.
