During https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1739525, I ran apport-collect.

I was happy to see that my hostname from the system logs was pruned to "hostname". Great!

However, there are some logs that complain about /home/FOO user ... we SHOULD NOT leak a user's $HOME directory contents (a potential list of local user accounts) into these reports. This MAY be considered as sensitive information.

The JournalErrors.txt should prune it.

Example of CULPRITS:
