Title:
  package_hook doesn't check bug patterns

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  update-manager calls /usr/share/apport/package_hook during a
  distribution upgrade in the event of a package installation failure,
  however as far as I can tell this doesn't check bug patterns to see if
  the installation failure matches a pattern before reporting the bug.

  I discovered this after writing a pattern for samba4 that checks the
  key "VarLogDistupgradeTermlog" for a specific message.  I ran 'search-
  bugs --package samba4 --tags apport-package' and found bug 776733, bug
  776676 and bug 776671 which all matched the pattern and were reported.
  These bugs should not have been reported at all since a pattern is
  written for them.
