Bug description:
  The latest security update for apport disabled container crash
  forwarding, this is a feature which users do rely on in production and
  while it may have been appropriate to turn it off to put a security
  update out, this needs to be re-enabled ASAP.

  I provided a patch which fixed the security issue before the security
  issue was publicly disclosed so pushing an SRU to all Ubuntu releases
  re-enabling this code should be pretty trivial.
