There is a wiki page about apport at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport but
I am not sure it goes into the depth you want.

Emmet Hickory (persia) gave a class in November on interpreting stack
traces to in #ubuntu-classroom.  I found the irc log at
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2007/11/17/%23ubuntu-classroom.html but it may
also be typed up better somewhere else.

Is this the type of information you are looking for?

Thanks,
