Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacsen-common
This is a bit of a feature request, but it would be nice to get this for Karmic.
Bugs such as bug #411939 should include a copy of the requested log file. There are hooks in apport for doing this, but I'm not altogether sure how the pieces should fit together.
> !! Please file a bug report against emacs-snapshot
> !! and attach the file /tmp/emacs-
Basically, any line in the dpkg terminal log which matches '!! and attach the file /tmp/x?emacs' and where the file in /tmp still exists should be included, at least as a first cut.
Can emacsen-common install a hook which is used by all emacsen, or will each need to provide its own?
Is there other information which should be included in apport bugs? I'm thinking installed Emacs extensions would be good to have listed as well.

Maybe I'm pointing out the painfully obvious, but this is the problem I
am attempting to solve with this request. I'm not familiar enough with
apport to know precisely how to make it attach /tmp/emacs*.* files to
the bug report automatically, so I was kind of hoping somebody with the
prerequisite skills would be able to at least briefly instruct me on how
to approach this.

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.
