shall allow local save even it's neither ubuntu nor native.

For command, apport-cli -p PKG -f --save=local-save.log, if the PKG is a local test one, it won't save the log.

Let's skip package check if --save option is used.

The check to see if the package is one provided by Ubuntu can be skipped
by setting the local environment variable "APPORT_DISABLE_DISTRO_CHECK".
For example this works for me:

APPORT_DISABLE_DISTRO_CHECK=1 ubuntu-bug makemkv-oss

If I had not set the environment variable I would be presented with a
message about the package not being an official one. Is there a reason
that using that environment variable will not work for you?

I think the Device enablement team can add a new apport "symptoms" script to collect the debug messages of the OEM image, but not targeting a meta package which is not exist on Ubuntu archive.

set APPORT_DISABLE_DISTRO_CHECK works for me
