Ok. I saw Leann with the SRU and forgot we are in that mode now. So do
we prefer the SRU justification in the patch email like Leann
provided, or in the bug report. The wiki page indicates that it should
be done in the bug report, but maybe we do things different in the
kernel?

I think the issue doesn't take down the system, so once apport is
disabled for the release this probably won't be a big deal. I think we
should probably just wait for it to come from -stable assuming it
isn't rejected.
