Full context: bug #413110. Short summary: the postinst script tries to byte compile add-on packages. This might fail because of a number of reasons. These cases are currently already detected and a logfile is left in /tmp. The user is asked (via echo) to attach this file to a bug report against the corresponding emacs package.
When using update-manager to install/upgrade the packages, the terminal output is normally hidden which makes it easy for the user to miss these instructions. Still, apport is triggered via apt and the user is prompted to file a bug. It would be great if these bugs would have this compilation logs attached automatically to the bugs. The apport documentation at [1] explains how to call apport explicitly, but if this was done in the postinst, I fear that apport would actually create 2 bug reports: the new one from the postinst and one via apt. Does anyone know a package that properly integrates apport in its postinst script? Or other hints how to do this properly?
