Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
Sorry mozillateam again with a RFE.
Currently in the apport gui the user is given the option of submitting a full or condensed issue report.
The condensed reports are of no value to us because they do not contain enough information. We are better off not wasting the reports time not sending a report rather then sending a condensed.
Would it be possible to extend package-hooks to request that only full report be sent. Or create a list in apport-gui itself to eliminate the send condensed report option.
Thanks
David

Do you really need the crash dump or do you just want a debug backtrace for the problem reported? Martin, could apport try to detect if the backtrace has no useful function nor dump and warn the user than the bug has not enough details with a pointer on how to get them?
