Bug Description
Running apt-cache policy apport on an Ubuntu 14.04.2 Live CD returns the following:
apport:
Installed: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.7
Candidate: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.7
Version table:
*** 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.7 0
100 /var/lib/
2.
500 http://
Because there is no record of where the package came from, the package is considered unofficial and its not possible to use "ubuntu-bug apport" to report a bug about apport or any other package.

Using "ubuntu-bug $packagename" from a 14.04, 14.10, and Vivid Live CD all work.
