With that in mind, couldn't this be implemented as a command-line option<br>
to ubuntu-bug to cause it to send a reduced set of information and do<br>
the paper-cut-specific stuff, plus if necessary an additional graphical<br>
utility to deal with application selection? It could then live in<br>
apport rather than needing a new package, and we won't need to dilute<br>
the message about using ubuntu-bug to report bugs.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>"ubuntu-bug --papercut rhythmbox" would work well for our needs. We could bundle the GUI app into another package, perhaps ubuntu-dev-tools-extra. How does that sound?</div>
