Thanks for adding this info. The procedure involves closing the existing 
bug (which may have useful comments on it) and letting apport open a new 
one, which seems a bit of a cludge.

Can we have apport save the output locally and ask the reporter to 
attach the files? Tht would admittedly work better when we can add 
multiple attachments to single comment as now we'll most likely get zip 
files. Still, it seems the right thing to do.

Perhaps the apport GUI should grow an option to let you enter an 
existing bug number?
