We had previously written directly to the apport API, which allows
gathering this data in-process rather than later when the log may be
messy or distorted (by other bzr processes).

Is that no longer supported?

Note that bzr never 'crashes' in the python sense, so apport won't ever
see bzr fail to trigger, unless we do it ourselves.
