Title:
  attach_related_packages might add redundant information

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
   affects ubuntu/apport
   importance low

  The attach_related_packages convenience function in hookutils.py might
  lead to the adding of redundant information to a bug report.  For
  example if package A had a dependency on a package B and package A's
  apport hook called "attach_related_packages(report, packageB)" then
  information about package B would appear in both Dependencies.txt and
  RelatedPackageVersions.txt.  This could be avoided by having
  attach_related_packages check to see if the package name is already in
  Dependencies.txt.
