** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: apport
  
  1) Hardy Heron
  2) Installed: 0.108
  3) python crashes not to show up in Launchpad for Hardy Heron any more
  4) I found bug 222217
  
  The changelog for apport 0.108 states:
    * debian/apport.default: Disable Apport for the final Hardy release, since
      it is less useful in stable releases, and drains a lot of CPU and I/O
      power on crashes. Disabling it here instead of in update-notifier/adept is
      more discoverable and more centralized.
  
  However, apport_python_hook.py doesn't check that file before reporting
  bugs so python crashes continue to be reported.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+   1. Introduce a bug into a Python program (or find an existing crash):
+ 
+     sudo sed -i '2 s/^/assert False/' /usr/bin/lsb_release
+ 
+   2. Run "lsb_release" in a Terminal.
+ 
+ With current Hardy you will get an Apport crash notification. With the
+ hardy-proposed version, you will not get any more if /etc/default/apport
+ disabled apport. If you enable it again, you should get an Apport
+ notification again.
+ 
+   3. Restore lsb_release again:
+ 
+   sudo sed -i '2 s/^.*$//' /usr/bin/lsb_release
