Bug Description
It appears that apport now requires the whoopsie package to be installed, but it is not an actual package dependency.
Diagnosis:
Following bug #997283 (Apport no longer uploads bugs to Launchpad), I noticed that I do not have whoopsie installed. I ran wireshark and apport-bug to see if any data was actually being transferred. It wasn't, even though 'echo $?' showed the exit status as success.
I then installed whoopsie and repeated the test. This time, data was transferred to 91.189.88.133 which appears to be eth0.chenet.
Can I conclude that apport now requires whoopsie?
$ apt-cache rdepends whoopsie
whoopsie
Reverse Depends:

I am not running ubuntu-desktop, so I don't have whoopsie installed. If apport requires whoopsie to function, then it should be listed as a direct dependency.
