Jörn Heissler, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
1) Regarding not using apport, one may disable it as per:
cat /etc/default/apport
# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
# you can temporarily override this with
# sudo service apport start force_start=1
enabled=1
2) Regarding apport not working, feel free to file a report about this against
the apport package via the following terminal command and include the details
of the Traceback:
ubuntu-bug apport
3) Regarding removing the dependency, it likely won't be removed as a
dependency due to how apport is a vital function for Ubuntu developers
to gather and process crash logs automatically. Given it may be disabled
as per above, a compelling case (wider impact positives and negatives)
to have apport removed as a dependency hasn't been provided.
Despite this, while this is being marked Won't Fix, the discussion may
still continue. If this change is no longer of interest to you, feel
free to mark the Status Invalid.

Title:
don't depend on python3-apport
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Distro: Bionic
Binary Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+19ubuntu7
Hello!
The package xserver-xorg depends on python3-apport. I don't want to use
apport on my systems.
Can the dependency be removed?
Also, it doesn't work anyway. That's how I noticed that the package is
installed:
root@00debac04ddf:~# foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/foo", line 3, in <module>
raise Exception
Exception
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 145, in
apport_excepthook
os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL, 0o640), 'wb') as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/var/crash/_usr_bin_foo.0.crash'
Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/foo", line 3, in <module>
raise Exception
Exception
Thanks
