Apport refuses to submit a bug because some packages are out of date. It should let the user decide.

Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
This is probably a duplicate, but I couldn't find anything already reported while searching around.
I just had a program crash and apport refused to submit a bug because some packages on my system were obsolete. Sometimes when this happens I know for sure that the packages that were not up to date were irrelevant to the bug that just happened.
There's APPORT_
Apport should say that packages aren't up to date and so this issue /might/ be fixed, but leave the choice of whether to send a bug or not up to the user.

Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Ubuntu by opening this ticket. This is similar to Bug #267488, but that one simply requests the user to be able to view the crash information.
This ticket requests the ability to override and submit the ticket anyway. I know that I personally need this as ability as well - mythtv auto-build packages get updated very frequently with very small changes and when a rare crash comes along, I need it submitted, not tossed because typo fix in a theme got pushed last night that I haven't had a chance to upgrade to.
