Bug Description
The code in apport which creates a duplicate signature for package installation failures changed in Ubuntu 16.04 and as part of that change we are no longer starting the duplicate signature with the following:
dupe_sig = 'package:%s:%s:%s' % (package, version, report[
This change was made because 'ErrorMessage' was too vague, however having 'package:%s:%s' was useful in the Ubuntu Error Tracker. The Error Tracker buckets package installation failures based off the duplicate signature and without the string 'package:$package' its hard to know if a bucket is about about a package installation failure. Additionally, buckets end up containing a mish-mash of different packages. In the following error notice how the package version table contains a bunch of unrelated version numbers:

The duplicate signature for problems with the type package should be changed to start with package and the package name at least.
