Not to mention that you'd probably have to install -dbg packages
first, then repeat a crash (since all binaries are commonly stripped 
off all debugging symbols, thus bug-buddy produces unusable stack
traces by default).

I'm not arguing for removing Bug Buddy, just noting that it's not that
useful on a default Ubuntu system.
