When reporting a bug via 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core', apport does not upload the file /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz due to a permission error.

To reproduce:
1) Install 12.04.3 with updates
2) Try to upgrade to 14.04 via 'update-manager -d' (this fails - see bug 1274672)
3) Run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'

Expected result:
Apport uploads apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz to launchpad along with apt.log and main.log

Actual results
Apport uploads apt.log and main.log to launchpad, but does not upload apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz. The corresponding bug report says there is a permission error for that file (see bug 1274672 for an example)

Permissions on /var/log/dist-upgrade are:
ubuntu@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~$ ll /var/log/dist-upgrade/
