Comment 1 for bug 1489410

another option would be to simply make apport use the manifest files on cdimage or launchpad or provide another way of handling this data remotely ... after all whoopsie and apport rely on being able to send the reports to a server so a usable network connection exists at some point.
this would also help for future use of apport on snappy personal or snappy based phone images where we have neither apt nor dpkg available at all.
