Title:
  apport should let the user see the crash details even if some packages
  are obsolete

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  Apport should let the user see the crash detail UI even if some packages are "obsolete".
  Running intrepid/ubuntu+1, there are always a lot of updates so when a crash occurs, it's very likely that something else completely unrelated as been bumped, making apport claim it is not interested by further information about that particular crash.

  It would be nice to go one step further and present crash details to
  the user so he can have a look at launchpad for existing bug reports
  (and maybe solution/workarounds), even if apport refuses to post the
  crash on LP by itself.
