Should add package version info for all shared libraries used by the process

[Matt Zimmerman]

Binary package hint: apport

It happened with bug 757219 that the fault was in overlay-scrollbar, but the version number of liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0 was not included in the report. This is because it is not a dependency (direct or indirect) of rhythmbox. Nevertheless, that information was relevant to the bug report and seems generally useful to include.

I suggest that, in addition to including version information for package dependencies, apport should also include version information for any packaged library which is linked into the process being reported about.
