The problem with the duplicate UI will also affect Fedora/RHEL's ABRT and 
probably also other similar crash handlers. In addition, I am not convinced 
automatic crash report sending to a downstream tracker (i.e., the part of the 
Apport functionality you retain in Kubuntu) is helpful. (I like how DrKonqi 
sends the reports directly to the actual developers.)
