Title:
  No help-"report bug" menu entry

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I already reported this once, but I'm doing it again, because I think
  it was closed for the wrong reasons. You can leave it as won't fix or
  wishlist, but please don't remove the report - I will try to get
  enough people to "me too" this to show that it's a missed feature.

  The "report problem" option doesn't exist any more under the various
  applications' help menu for stable releases. The feature would start
  apport in the backend and find out what package is resonsible for the
  current application.

  Expected - this should be available in stable releases too. There are
  many developers (such as me), who don't use alpha or beta versions,
  but would still like to report bugs in Ubuntu in a user friendly
  manner. Reporting bugs using the terminal is simply not nice, because
  I don't know the name of every package-application mapping
  (evince-"Document Viewer", baobab-"Disk Usage Analyser" (I honestly
  just found this second one out, I have to spend my time looking for
  this)). Especially when there is already a feature ready to do this,
  but it's intentionally deactivated.

  I hope this feature gets readded for Raring.
