[Bug 1289604] [NEW] ubuntu-release-upgrader doesn't depend on python-apport

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

Test Case:
1) run python /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeApport.py
2) notice a failed to import apport python module error message

With the package from -proposed you should receive a "Crash report"
dialog saying that 'do-release-upgrade has stopped unexpectedly'.  Do
not submit the crash report.

This is because ubuntu-release-upgrader doesn't depend on python-apport
and it is no longer depended on by anything else.  I mean that package
used to be installl on most Ubuntu systems because apport or ubuntuone-
client depended on it.
