Title:
  RELEASE_UPRADER_NO_APPORT seems to have no effect

Bug description:
  I was trying to test the alternate paths in run_apport of
  DistUpgradeApport.py and was setting RELEASE_UPRADER_NO_APPORT=1 but
  this seemed to have no effect.  I tested this upgrading from utopic to
  vivid and from trusty to utopic.

  I examined os.environ right before the failure I'd created (a divide
  by 0 error in DistUpgradeController.py) and that key existed, so it
  seems like DistUpgradeApport or the call to it is unsetting that
  variable somehow.
