I was unable to recreate this when upgrading from U to V today and its likely was fixed by this upload.

whoopsie (0.2.47) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * Remove /etc/default/whoopsie conffile and avoid upgrade prompt:
    (LP: #1431432)
    - debian/whoopsie.maintscript: get it removed on upgrade
    - debian/whoopsie.preinst: copy the optional report_metrics value if set
      by gnome-control-center capplet to /etc/whoopsie (not a conffile).
      (LP: #1412719)
      Refactor the logic for caching report_crashes as well.
    - debian/whoopsie.postinst: enhance the logic to ensure we don't have the
      service started after upgrade and keep it disable if it was disabled
    - Makefile, data/whoopsie: remove the conffile so that we don't ship it
  * Bump Standards-Version

  [ Michael Blennerhassett ]
  * Under upstart: Set the WAIT_STATE to get wait-for-state to do something
    useful. GOAL is also not needed.
