The easiest way to work around the distro check is to add this to the package hook:
self['CrashDB'] = 'ubuntu'
On IRC you also asked about "apport-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader". As this is not a (binary) package name, this won't work. If this is desired, apport-symptoms should get a new symptom with that name (and perhaps a few aliases like "release-upgrade" and "upgrade" while we are at it) which simply redirects the report to "ubuntu-release-upgrader-core"; see /usr/share/doc/apport/symptoms.txt .
