The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui to be installed, which we don't by default.
apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part of apport binary package).
As it doesn't make sense to have this is apport-noui separate pacakge (no more phone factor), which is in universe and to restore the functionality in an already released version, let's have apport, having a conditional file on whoopsie installed and autoreport enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to apport-autoreport.*) directly. |

There is 2 possible solutions:
- promoting apport-noui to main, and seeding it.
- or considering there is no reason anymore to have a separate apport-noui pacakge (no more phone factor), and so move the systemd units to apport, having a conditional file on whoopsie installed (no more dependency) and autoreport enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to apport-autoreport.*) directly. |

[ Impact ]
* The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui to be installed, which we don't by default.
apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part of apport binary package).
We should move the unit to apport package itself.
[ Test Case ]
* Install the new apport package from proposed
* Set in g-c-c, privacy panel, to report bugs automatically
* Make one program dumping a core dump
* Wait for a while, you should have a .upload and .uploaded files in addition to the .crash one in /var/crash
[ Regression potential ]
The systemd units were in apport-noui previously, we moved them and made them conditional to whoopsie being installed.
apport-noui is still useful by turning autoreport on, so people upgrading shouldn't have any impact or difference.
The units have been renamed to make sense and avoid package files overwrite.
