[Bug 1001630] Re: xubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop etc. no longer upload crash reports as of Precise

Yes, but when whoopsie wasn't installed (which it wouldn't be because it
wasn't a dependency of ${derivative-desktop}), and apport was enabled,
then in post-release ubuntu, apport would detect the crash, offer to
send a crash report, and when the user clicked yes, no crash report
would be sent. The user had to figure out that apport requires whoopsie,
and then manually install it. I haven't checked if this behaviour is
still the case, but that is how it was. It appears that ubuntu-desktop
is still the only desktop that has an actual depend entry for whoopsie,
so I'd guess this is still a problem?

Also, I just noticed that at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs it says "Apport is
disabled by default in stable releases. To enable it, edit the file:
/etc/default/apport and change: enabled=0 to: enabled=1". This does not
appear to be true. I am running precise, and by default apport is
enabled (apt-get purge apport; apt-get install apport leaves enabled=1
in /etc/default/apport).
