report-bug: Should prompt for packagename/PID if not given on command line

[Colin S. Miller]

Binary package hint: apport

When a user starts ubuntu-bug and selects "Other Problem", report-bug exits if the package name/PID was not given on the command line.

It would be better if it asked for the details in a dialog box instead.

Confirmed with apport 1.14.1-0ubuntu8. It gives a dialog telling the PID/package name is missing and exists.

[Colin S. Miller (ubuntu-csmiller)]

See #614145 for different behaviour in this case.

[Thibault D (thibdrev)]

This one is probably also linked with bug #688148.

And bug #635324 too.
