Title:
  apport-collect requires 2 extra packages to be installed by hand to be
  usable - python3-apport and python3-problem-report

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I reported a bug and then decided to start 'apport-collect' to provide
  common set of data for it. As my Chromebook has very stripped down
  Ubuntu system I had to install apport. So I did. But then I had to
  install another package. And then another one. All that just to add
  data into bug.
