I don't think we would want to carry the proposed patch as a distro
patch. So as long as polkit doesn't have direct support for this, apport
should do as systemd does, and spawn pkttyagent (--fallback) itself.
I'll try quickly now to work on an initial patch for this.

Lubuntu is suffering what seems to be a related failure although I
tracked that down to what I thought was a different upstream bug report.
In Lubuntu's case the lxqt-policykit-agent suffers a SIGSEGV as a side-
affect (I think) of polkit failing to authorise.
It was originally discovered when,

I proposed a fix upstream [1]. A workaround can be added to apport to
workaroud this while polkit is fixed upstream: we could for example
spawn pkttyagent manually (a similar approach is used by systemd).
