Public bug reported:

`gnome-terminals` which are opened by `apport` to monitor the
installation of necessary deb packages for local investigation,
production of `gdb` backtraces, etc. are closed immediately after
success, but after failure as well (e.g. if `apt-get` can't get its
global lock, or another issue occurs). For debugging `apport` it'd be
very useful to have a configuration option which allows the terminals
opened by `apport` to stay opened after a failure.

Some details and workarounds have been discussed at (this askubuntu.com
question)[http://askubuntu.com/questions/600875/how-to-keep-terminal-
for-installation-of-debugging-symbols-of-apports-local-inv].
