Title:
  choosing not to report "app crashes and errors" leaves apport and
  whoopsie running

Status in “whoopsie-preferences” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “whoopsie-preferences” package in Ubuntu RTM:
  New

Bug description:
  When one selects not to report "app crashes and errors" to Canonical,
  in ubuntu-system-settings, only /var/lib/apport/autoreport is
  modified.  This file enables or disables the automatic reporting of
  crashes to the Ubuntu Error Tracker. However, if we want to improve
  the user experience on devices then both whoopsie and apport should
  also be disabled.

  This can be done for apport by setting /etc/default/apport enabled=0.

  This can be done for whoopsie by setting /etc/default/whoopsie
  report_crashes=false.
