apport 0.18 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

apport (0.18) edgy; urgency=low

  The "mating dance for ubiquity" release.

  * apport-gtk:
    - Use pidof's -x option in the detection whether the program is already
      running to correctly handle scripts.
    - Do not assume the presence of the ExecutablePath key in reports, but
      gracefully fall back to Package.
    - If the report specifies an explicit DesktopFile, use that instead of
      trying to figure it out.
    - Only created reduced report and show the radio buttons if there are
      actually removed fields.
    - Change tooltip of 'reduced report' radio button to be more generic (do
      not refer to the memory dump, but to 'large items', since this is what
      apport-gtk currently does).
    - Support new field 'BugDisplayMode: file | list (default)'. In 'file'
      mode, display the /+filebug page instead of /+bugs and change
      instructions accordingly.
    - Use the ProcCmdline attibute to restart an application; correctly
      parsing of all the desktop file is just not possible at this point.
    - Support new field 'RespawnCommand' to use custom respawning command.
  * problem_report.py: Add method has_removed_fields() to check whether load()
    skipped any fields due to binary=False. Add test suite check.
  * apport_utils.py: Fix the quoting in ProcCmdline so that it is fully shell
    compatible.
  * run-tests: Check if kernel crash dump helper is active, and if so, run
    test-apport in kernel mode.
  * problem_report.py: Support an optional second argument of file references
    which controls whether or not the file contents will be compressed/encoded
    (defaults to True for backwards compatibility). Add test suite checks.
