Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
I was recommended on IRC to run apport-collect for a bug.
When I did I got a web browser page containing:
The application identified as apport-collect wants to access Launchpad on your behalf. What level of access do you want to grant?
No Access The application will not be allowed to access Launchpad on your behalf.
Change Anything The application will be able to access Launchpad on your behalf for reading and changing anything, including private data.
See all applications authorized to access Launchpad on your behalf.
But it doesn't tell me what it wants to be authorized to do. It just wants full authorization to access my private data.
It also doesn't tell me if I will have an opportunity to see what is sent before it is sent.
It would be bad practice to respond 'Yes' to such a dialog. Please clarify in the text whether the reporting is interactive and whether I can review it before it is sent.
