Steve Langasek (vorlon) wrote : 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/app.crash' should still allow manual bug filing

The crash database work has made it much harder for users to enable apport bug filing for crashes, even for those who could otherwise contribute useful bug reports. "Comment out line 23 of /etc/apport/crashdb.conf" is not particularly straightforward.

One thing that would mitigate this is if users could still run 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/application.crash' to manually submit a bug report about a given crash. The fact that this is also disabled by the crashdb settings is a tad inconvenient. I think the manual command should be allowed to work even post-release.
