Thanks for providing a patch for apport. Could you explain to me the use case for this change a bit more though? Usually apport crash files or bug reports are sent to Launchpad and / or the Ubuntu Error Tracker.

Hi, Brian

In device enablement projects, the apport log file will be generated on a fresh-installed machine or by a QA engineer works in a ODM factory without direct internet access.

These users or use case are not able to submit the log file to a private launchpad bug. They will share the log file in a usb pendrive or submit the log using a helper scripts provided by device enablement team.
