Title:
'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/app.crash' (and even more so, 'apport-cli -c
/var/crash/app.crash') should still allow manual bug filing in stable
releases
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in apport source package in Precise:
Won't Fix
Status in apport source package in Quantal:

Bug description:

WORKAROUND:
comment out line 23 ("'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],") in
'/etc/apport/crashdb.conf'.
---
The crash database work has made it much harder for users to enable apport
bug filing for crashes in stable Ubuntu releases, even for those who could
otherwise contribute useful bug reports. "Comment out line 23 of
/etc/apport/crashdb.conf" is not particularly straightforward.
One thing that would mitigate this is if the users could still run one of the
following commands to manually submit a bug report about a given crash:
1) 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/application.crash';
2) and even more so, 'apport-cli -c /var/crash/app.crash' (as for now, it
quietly exits without explanation after pressing the 'S' key instead of sending
a crash report, as stated in duplicate bug #992064).
The fact that this is also disabled by the crashdb settings is a tad
inconvenient. I think the manual command should be allowed to work even
post-release.
