Title:
  Suggestion: Configure apport (?) to write coredumps for custom
  applications in working directory

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  - Regarding XUbuntu 19.04
  - apport version: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27.1

  
  Current behaviour:
  ==================
  Core dumps of custom software (e.g. self-created software) are not created by default. 
  (It says "core dumped", but actually nothing was created. This is a bug, but not of matter now)

  To create coredumps within `/var/crash/`, one has to 
  - Create `~/.config/apport/settings` with the following content:

      [main]
      unpackaged=true

  - set ulimit -c unlimited

  Suggested behaviour:
  ====================
  Setup apport (? or whatever package is in charge) to 
  - create core dumps of custom software
  - inside the current working directory
  - by default

  Alternative Suggested behaviour:
  ====================
  Setup apport (? or whatever package is in charge) to 
  - create core dumps of custom software
  - inside the current working directory
  - after setting `ulimit -c unlimited`
