I've backported the powerpc hook from wily to trusty and uploaded a new
version of apport to trusty-proposed for the SRU team to review.

** Description changed:

+ TEST CASE
+ ---------
+ Verify that /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/powerpc.py exists after 
installing the version of the package from -proposed.
+ 
+ For bonus points run apport-cli on a powerpc system and verify that the
+ report contains information in the apport hook.
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL
+ --------------------
+ We are just adding in a new general hook to apport that only runs on systems 
with an arch of ppc64 or ppc64le so there is little chance of regression.
+ 
  On power/ppc64el system, we would need to enhance current apport reporting 
tool which some information like file content or commands output including
-           "/proc/device-tree/"
-             "/proc/loadavg"
-             "/proc/locks"
-            "/proc/misc"
-             "/proc/swaps"
-             "/proc/version"
-             "/dev/nvram"
-             "/var/log/platform"
-             "ppc64_cpu --smt"
-             "ppc64_cpu --cores-present"
-             "ppc64_cpu --cores-on"
-             "ppc64_cpu --run-mode"
-            "ppc64_cpu --frequency"
-            "ppc64_cpu --dscr"
+           "/proc/device-tree/"
+             "/proc/loadavg"
+             "/proc/locks"
+            "/proc/misc"
+             "/proc/swaps"
+             "/proc/version"
+             "/dev/nvram"
+             "/var/log/platform"
+             "ppc64_cpu --smt"
+             "ppc64_cpu --cores-present"
+             "ppc64_cpu --cores-on"
+             "ppc64_cpu --run-mode"
+            "ppc64_cpu --frequency"
+            "ppc64_cpu --dscr"
  
  Readme says : For complete instructions, see 
/usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt but
  cat: /usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt: No such file or directory
  
  Do I understand correctly I would need to create a file (for example)
  named : /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/power.py ?
  
  Other questions:
  Do you have common functions to put output of commands in logfile ?
  do you have common functions to copy config file tree content to log file or 
should I create the list of file and copy content of each file to the logfile ?
