[Florent (florent.x)]

The confusing file "/etc/default/apport.default" was added silently in version 0.149: no hint in the changelog file.

I just upgraded to version 1.0-0ubuntu4, and it is worse, because both files have different settings. And the last change occurs in the wrong file:
  "Disable Apport by default for the final release."
