Comment 4 for bug 1001630

> They're also now sent during development *and* post-release to the Ubuntu error tracker when whoopsie is installed.

Yes, but when whoopsie wasn't installed (which it wouldn't be because it wasn't a dependency of ${derivative-desktop}), and apport was enabled, then in post-release ubuntu, apport would detect the crash, offer to send a crash report, and when the user clicked yes, no crash report would be sent. The user had to figure out that apport requires whoopsie, and then manually install it. I haven't checked if this behaviour is still the case, but that is how it was. It appears that ubuntu-desktop is still the only desktop that has an actual depend entry for whoopsie, so I'd guess this is still a problem?

Also, I just noticed that at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs it says "Apport is disabled by default in stable releases. To enable it, edit the file: /etc/default/apport and change: enabled=0 to: enabled=1". This does not appear to be true. I am running precise, and by default apport is enabled (apt-get purge apport; apt-get install apport leaves enabled=1 in /etc/default/apport).
