Some packages, e.g. `xorg` and `synaptic` locally gather and upload a large set of (or a few large) log or other files which is not necessary in cases where issues which don't need such files are reported. Adding control to select the set of files to be uploaded (e.g. in collapsible pane labeled "extended option" in the `apport-gtk` dialog) would prevent usage of local resources during file gathering and traffic during upload to launchpad.net.
