Comment 2 for bug 1827202

The .screenrc file format description does indicate that a password can be set in it (https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html#Detach) so it does appear that in theory this could be a privacy problem.

There are not many bugs filed against Ubuntu's byobu package (just 10 currently) and it doesn't look like any of them have the .screenrc anyway. Dropping the inclusion of .screenrc in the apport hook looks like it wouldn't adversely affect bug collection for this package; the rare cases where it might be needed could just be handled manually.

The apport hook also includes some general information about the installed screen binaries. It looks like there have been some situations in the past where extraneous screen bits could cause confusion (e.g. lp #390808 comments #6-9) that may be the reason for that. This may be of limited usefulness, but seems of minimal risk.

So, dropping the inclusion of the .screenrc seems like a sensible path for resolving this issue.
