Allow non-Ubuntu but launchpad packages

[Tim Kornhammar]

Binary package hint: apport

Apport should report bugs of all packages that exist on Launchpad and not just those in Ubuntu. The package Deluge (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deluge-torrent) for example has their own build for Ubuntu on their own web page (http://deluge-torrent.org/downloads.php) but Apport does not allow the bugs to be reported to launchpad even though it exists and bugs will still be posted there wherever the source of the package.

I am merging your branch with some cleanups, thank you!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 0.129

---------------
apport (0.129) jaunty; urgency=low

  * bin/apport-retrace: Log broken reports.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Do not mark bugs as invalid after they are
    already marked as a duplicate, since that does not work in
    Launchpad.
  * debian/local/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Symlink /target -> /, to work
    for crashes which appear in /target during installation.
  * bin/apport: Move argv length/usage help before lock check, so that
    it works if the user cannot lock /var/crash/.lock. Thanks to Kees
    Cook!
  * doc/package-hooks.txt: Point out apport.hookutils.
  * apport/ui.py: Check environment variable APPORT_REPORT_THIRDPARTY
    in addition to the 'thirdparty' configuration file option for
    overriding the "genuine distro package" check. Thanks to Oumar
    Aziz OUATTARA!
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: In third-party mode, report bugs
    against Launchpad projects. Thanks to Oumar
    Aziz OUATTARA for his branch! (LP: #213454)
  * bin/apportcheckresume: Include /var/lib/pm-utils/stress.log, too.
    Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for the initial patch, rewrote to use
    apport.hookutils.
  * apport/crashdb.py, init_duplicate_db(): Run an integrity check and
    raise exception if it fails, to avoid running the retracers on a
    corrupt duplicate db. Add test case to
    apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py.
  * bin/crash-digger: Create a backup of the duplicates database right
    after initializing it (which verifies integrity).
  * dupdb-admin: Add new command "consolidate".
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Request bug lists with batch
    size 300, for slight speedup of consolidation.
  * apport/crashdb.py, duplicate_db_consolidate(): Warn about a bug
    which is not yet fixed, but does not appear in get_unfixed(). In
    Launchpad, this means that the bug does not have the
    'apport-crash' tag any more; if there are many, those would be a
    huge time/bandwidth waste.
