[Bug 1947425] Re: Use of deprecated 'imp' module

[Benjamin Drung]

Since the SRU for jammy included several fixes, I put my comment in this
bug report only.

For the SRU I cherry-picked the important fixes from apport 2.21.0 and
2.22.0 to jammy. You can see the individual commits in
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
dev/ubuntu/+source/apport/log/?h=ubuntu/jammy

I had to cherry-pick several fixes for the test suite so that the test
suite runs successfully during package build with sbuild and the QEMU
autopkgtest runner (and not only the in the autopkgtest setup on
Launchpad).

Attached a full debdiff and a debdiff which excludes the changes to the
test directory.
