Could invoke bug/reportbug hooks if there is no apport package hook

[Matt Zimmerman]

Binary package hint: apport

Not too many packages have them which don't already have apport hooks, but I think there are enough to make it worthwhile. If there is no package-specific apport hook, it could invoke the /usr/share/bug script for the package (if any exists) and attach that data as a single text blob.

I think these scripts may run interactively in some cases, though.

This would require opening a terminal and run the script there. Should be doable, just looks a little ugly because interaction is not done via GUI.

This release of Ubuntu is no longer receiving maintenance updates. If this is still an issue on a maintained version of Ubuntu please let us know.
