Automatically filed bugs via apport are all initially marked as private.
Ubuntu BugSquad works on the bugs and trianges / makes them public if
there is no sensitive data in the bug report and the automatically
attached files.

I have checked the attachments on the bug, and there doesn't seem to be
anything private (apart from hostnames, user names & mount points).

I therefore have now marked the bug public.
