The previous SRU of apport for Focal has had the phasing of its update
stop due to potential regressions. It would be good to get those
addressed before accepting a new version of apport on top of that.
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Focal)

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Extracting a crash file will always fail in case the crash report was
processed.
[ Test plan ]
1. Create crash (e.g. with divide-by-zero):
```
sudo apt install chaos-marmosets
divide-by-zero
```
2. Click on "show details" in Apport crash UI, then close it
3. exract crash report:
```
tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)
apport-unpack /var/crash/_usr_bin_divide-by-zero.1000.crash "$tmpdir"
rm -rf "$tmpdir"
```
The extraction should work and not print a stack trace.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The change touches the problem report reading code which is used in
several places. This could cause regressions in reading the problem
report.
[ Original report ]
The crash file I'm using is as-produced by the system (on groovy), and
appears to have an empty value for separator:
$ grep separator /var/crash/_usr_bin_neomutt.1000.crash
separator:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apport-unpack", line 77, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 269, in
extract_keys
