I've found the branch now and it looking at it seems that checkbox has its own switch for turning off bug filing. This concerns me a bit in that we have three automated bug reporting tools (checkbox, apport, and kerneloops) all with their own separate on / off bit. (One might also count update-manager and its modification of /etc/default/apport for distribution-upgrades.)

I can understand kerneloops having a different switch as kernel freeze is earlier than other items in the release cycle. But going forward I'd rather than an effort was made to consolidate these wherever possible. Subsequently, I'd really prefer that checkbox checked '/etc/default/apport' to see if it was enabled or not.
