[Bug 1786125] [NEW] Incorrect UpgradeStatus field value in saved crash file

[Mike Vastola]

Public bug reported:

For whatever reason, when I run apport-bug or apport-cli, the crash file that is generated/submitted contains the line:
UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2014-12-03 (1344 days ago)

Obviously this is wildly incorrect, and I'm not even sure how this value
was obtained. (I imagine the last modified date on some file?)

Happy to help debug if there's any other info I can provide.

Expected value is the correct one (about a month ago).
