Public bug reported:

whoopsie was built with two settings, report_metrics (statistics like
popcon - currently unused) and report_crashes (for reporting crash
reports to the Error Tracker). However, only report_metrics gets written
to '/etc/whoopsie' while the setting for report_crashes is defined by
having whoopsie.disable. This complicates matters as there are two
places to look for whoopsie settings '/etc/whoopsie' and checking for a
.disable file. It'd be best if "report_crashes" was also written to
'/etc/whoopsie'.
