Look here for information on how to add package hooks to do stuff like this:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport/DeveloperHowTo#Package_Hooks

In brief (and don't believe me too much, I've never done it, I'm just reading
the docs and comparing against what a package I know does this has):

- Add a Python script/file/hook to your package (say, aiccu.py) with something
like this:

from apport.hookutils import *

def add_info(report, ui=None):
    attach_file_if_exists(report, '/var/log/aiccu.log', key='aiccuLog')
    report['SecretMessage'] = 'my hook was here'


- Make sure your package installs it in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/aiccu.py.
