Binary package hint: apport
This is a follow on from Bug #528175
The oops should be shown before questions about if this is a regression, and has it been reproduced in upstream.

I've just encountered this issue, and I consider it much worse than "wishlist". apport gives me an icon which I obligingly click on, then asks me a series of questions which *I cannot possibly know the answers to* because it hasn't told me which line from dmesg it's treating as a crash! (Since this was not a kernel oops, it was not at all obvious from context) Only after answering all the questions randomly does it finally show me the line that it thinks was a problem, at which point I decided not to file the bug.
