Binary package hint: update-manager

I've seen multiple bug reports with an attachment named VarLogDistUpgradeTermlog.gz that is 37 bytes and contains no data. (See bug 701317 for an example) I believe update-manager creates this log file (term.log) before actually writing to it so we have a 0 byte file. Then if update-manager crashes (when doing a distribution upgrade) all the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade are passed to apport and added to bug reports as attachments. Then when trying to work with these attachments in Launchpad we receive an unexpected end of file.
