Title:
  ubuntu-release-upgrader doesn't depend on python-apport

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Description:
  A default Saucy system will not have python-apport installed and the crash handler in the release upgrade tarball needs python-apport to be able to create a crash report.  Subsequently, we may not be receiving crash reports for every release upgrade crash.
  The release upgrader runs with python2 because it needs to run on Precise and Saucy.

  Test Case:
  1) run python /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeApport.py (we are using python here because the release upgrader runs with python2 not 3)
  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.
