Title:
  whoopsie reuses CRASH_DB_IDENTIFIER on next run

Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On Vivid, Ubuntu 15.04, I observed the following behavior.

  bdmurray at blacklightning:~/Downloads$ sudo stop whoopsie
  [sudo] password for bdmurray: 
  whoopsie stop/waiting
  bdmurray at blacklightning:~/Downloads$ sudo CRASH_DB_URL=https://daisy.staging.ubuntu.com CRASH_DB_IDENTIFIER=deadbeefbd89cc5da1f045978a550ad4b38782c1390ccd8c265c5ddc803be1d8bc0d0d5657350ce06c611975d77dac5a28db5e78921476be5430e0b6c1a44dfd APPORT_REPORT_DIR=/var/crash/ whoopsie -f

  Notice, how the same CRASH_DB_IDENTIFIER was used by whoopsie when
  starting up, rather than calculating the system identifier. This may
  lead to crashes being reported under the wrong system-identifier if
  people switch from setting the environmental variable to just running
  whoopsie.
