Since this seems to be the prefered option, I now added the schema,
automake stuff, and gconf query to update-notifier:

|update-notifier (0.56.2) feisty; urgency=low
|
|  * debian/control: Add X-Vcs-Bzr.
|  * Add data/update-notifier.schemas.in with a key to enable/disable apport
|    report displaying (/apps/update-notifier/show_apport_crashes). Add
|    necessary autotools infrastructure for i18n and installation.
|  * src/crash.c: Do not show apport crash reports if above gconf key is false.

So it is now trivial to flip the default for that gconf key close to the
release.
