No, it can't be deprecated (because servers/cloud/Non-GNOME flavors) nor
synchronized (because multiple users on one system and privilege
boundary). A user gsetting can *not* be used to entirely disable the
generation of crash reports in /var/crash. But it is simple and
straightforward to query it in apport-gtk to suppress the
upload/reporting of crash reports.

The main blocker here is that the report-technical-problems is off by
default, which we don't want in Ubuntu -- it should be consistent with
the system-wide "on" default, where it asks for every crash whether to
upload it.

Another problem is that we already have some setting for this -- in
ubuntu-system-settings "security & privacy" there are options for
disabling apport error reports. This would then be redundant and
preferrably get moved to use the same key?
