It was indeed, at the last rally. The idea was to move the hooks out of the packages to a network location. This is already done with the bug patterns, but as hooks are executable code, we need to spend some effort on authenticating them and verifying them on the client side, so it's not a trivial change. Also, this breaks some use cases: Right now you can run apport-bug on an offline/firewalled server, take the resulting report file to a desktop and report it from there. If the hooks are only available from the network, you can't report (sensible) bugs from offline computers any more.
