Title:
  Apport retracing service  ignore "third-party-packages" tag

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using  more recent packages from a ppa, and reporting an issue, apport add the tag "third-party-packages".
  But then the apport retracing service is confused by newer packages version higher than the stock ones, and is completly lost when it try to explain why the installed packages are not compatible.
  So to be able to fill usefull bug report against a package coming from a ppa, "apport retracing service" needs to understand the tag added by "apport"
