That's actually what it's doing. However, it needs to do things like
dpkg -S (not precisely, but similar) to find out that the crashed app
isn't a pacakged app.

However, it shouldn't get in the way at all for binaries in e. g.
/home or /tmp. If it does, that's a bug and should be reported.

Thanks,

Martin
