Ahh.. That's what it checks. No need. My problem then is I haven't been
using do-release-upgrade to do updates for a long time.
I have a ton of complicated dependencies that always seem to fail on
upgrade, so I've been manually replacing the codename in
/etc/apt/sources.list for each upgrade.
So this isn't strictly a duplicate, but it might be for all intents and
purposes though if a decision is made to use a different means of
obtaining this information. I can understand if this is a wontfix
though.
If this is to be corrected, the obvious way that occurs to me though is
to pull the files specifying the OS version information (i.e.
/etc/debian_version /etc/lsb-release /usr/lib/os-release) into their own
package and change it once per release and use the install date of that
package.

Title:
Incorrect UpgradeStatus field value in saved crash file
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
For whatever reason, when I run apport-bug or apport-cli, the crash file that
is generated/submitted contains the line:
UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2014-12-03 (1344 days ago)
Obviously this is wildly incorrect, and I'm not even sure how this
value was obtained. (I imagine the last modified date on some file?)
Happy to help debug if there's any other info I can provide.
Expected value is the correct one (about a month ago).
