apport uses the dpkg database to determine if a package is official. In
your description we can see that apt does not know where the package was
installed from.
$ apt-cache policy systemd
systemd:
Installed: 234-2ubuntu12.1
Candidate: 234-2ubuntu12.1
Version table:
*** 234-2ubuntu12.1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
234-2ubuntu12 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64
This is why apport would not file a bug and said that it was not an
official package.

Title:
ubuntu-bug claims systemd is not an official package
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have just used 'env -i' to avoid the gtk dialog.
The same occurs when using gtk.
I can't file a bug against systemd because it complains:
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party
package and try again.
Other packages work (i tried 'cloud-initramfs-rooturl' for one).
(also note, i used 'ubuntu-bug' to file *this* bug, so not all packages are
borked).
