It's fixed in Precise.
---
apport (2.0.1-0ubuntu5) precise-proposed; urgency=low
* etc/apport/crashdb.conf: Disable Launchpad crash/kernel reports for the
final release. Leave Apport running for whoopsie, though, so use the new
mechanism for selective problem types.
* Cherry-pick from trunk:
- data/general-hooks/generic.py: Bump minimum free space requirement from
10 to 50 MB. 10 is not nearly enough particularly for /tmp.

Title:
Automatic bug reporting not so automatic
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Apport or whoopsie could use a setting for automatically sending a
crash to the database without any user interaction.
Original report follows:
The automatic bug reporting is not so automatic.
When an application crashes, it triggers "Apport" to run.
It asks the user if he wants to submit a bug report, and the user can select
yes or no. (Good)
However, when the user clicks on the "Send bug report" button, it
opens the web browser and redirects him over here to
bugs.launchpad.net
Most (especially new) users, don't want to bother register an account
on the website and enter a description.
If an application crashes and they're asked two choices "Report crash" or
"Don't report crash", many will click on the "Report crash" if it causes no
personal inconvenience, effort or loss of time for them.
But non-technical users, don't want to report it, if it brings up a website
where they need to register an account and enter a description.
So I propose to make it so the user can quickly send a bug report
without inconvenience, effort or time, by just pressing a button, and
it sends it without the user have to have an account or type anything.
