This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.12-0ubuntu2

---------------
apport (2.12-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * Merge from trunk:
    - sandboxutils.py, make_sandbox(): Install packages from Package: and
      Dependencies: fields also if we have a ProcMaps: field and there are any
      third-party packages. This fixes retracing crashes that use PPAs (as they
      don't have Contents.gz).
    - Robustify "progress bar visible" GTK and KDE UI checks for the faster
      collection due to dropping lsb_release.

Title:
  apport-gtk spends a lot of time calling lsb_release

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I've had some stability problems with compiz, so I see apport-gtk run
  a fair amount on my system. I've noticed that apport-gtk is pretty
  slow, and top reports that lsb_release is often running and using up
  1-5% of the CPU while apport-gtk is running. Watching the PIDs in top,
  I see that lsb_release is spawned a lot - dozens or hundreds of times
  for each instance of apport-gtk when collecting data about compiz.

  Can lsb_release data be cached so that it's retrieved once rather than
  repeatedly for each instance of apport? Is there some tight loop in
  the collector for compiz and its dependencies that shouldn't be there?
