Title:
  Respect gsettings org.gnome.desktop.privacy report-technical-problems

Status in Apport:
  New
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.16+ includes this boolean key:
  org.gnome.desktop.privacy report-technical-problems

  This key is used in GNOME's Settings app and Initial Setup tool. It
  would be great if Ubuntu would be able to integrate with that.

  Perhaps /etc/default/apport enabled=0/1 could be deprecated in favor
  of that key.

  Maybe apport could watch for that key and set /etc/default/apport
  and/or the other way around?

  For full integration into GNOME, apport may need to implement a stub
  of abrt's org.freedesktop.problems.daemon dbus service. (abrt is the
  crash reporter used by RHEL, Fedora and derivatives.) This is ok since
  abrt is not packaged in Debian or Ubuntu and their derivatives as far
  as I know.

  Ubuntu Bug 1614818 requests that the GNOME apps support apport but I
  think this bug may be the more correct way to do it.
