Title:
  bug patterns for retraced stack traces won't work

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When writing a bug patterns one probably wants to make it is as strict
  as possible and to that end would write the pattern for the retraced
  Stacktrace.  However, this patten won't work because when the bug is
  being reported the Stacktrace has not yet been retraced.

  As an example see the following merge proposal:

  https://code.launchpad.net/~roignac/apport/bug-647802-pattern/+merge/91055

  The pattern only matches bug 647802 with its retraced stacktrace, and
  none of the duplicates match.

  I don't believe there is a way to fix this but thought it was worth
  reporting just in case.
