please add an Architecture: field

Isn't the system architecture information in the uname line of the initial crash? Here is an example: 'Uname: Linux mlenz-laptop 2.6.20-8-generic #2 SMP Tue Feb 13 05:18:42 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux'.

For 32bit, it will say "i686", and for 64, it will say "x86_64". e.g.,
my machine:

Linux gorgon 2.6.20-8-generic #2 SMP Tue Feb 13 01:14:41 UTC 2007 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Or just uname -m

Another indicator is in the "Registers.txt". eax is 32, and rax is 64 bit.

I have never seen the x86_64 but i will recheck some. ive seen smp and i686 ty and i will look at a few.

Indeed an Architecture: field makes sense, especially for multiarch (e. g. running 32 bit firefox on amd64)

apport (0.60) feisty; urgency=low

  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Reintroduce window titles. Since the crash
    notifications are like alerts, title have been removed recently to comply
    with Gnome HIG standards, but then the user will get 'nameless window'
    buttons in the task bar. Let's have the smaller evil then. (LP: #87164)
  * apport/packaging.py: Add get_architecture() interface for determining the
    architecture of a particular package (which might not match the overall
    system architecture on multiarch-capable systems, e. g. an i386 Firefox
    package installed on amd64).
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Implement get_architecture() and add test
    case.
  * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Add Architecture: field.
    (LP: #87424)
  * apport/ui.py: Already mark report as seen when we load it, not just in the
    information collection thread. That way, reports will only be shown once
    on systems which have /var/crash mounted noatime, too. (LP: #85809)
  * apport/fileutils.py, mark_report_seen(): If os.utime() fails, and opening
    the report file for reading does not change the atime (happens with
    noatime mount option), don't throw an exception, just delete the report.
    (other aspect of LP: #85809)
  * qt4/apport-qt: Wrap gettext() into an unicode(str, 'UTF-8') call,
    otherwise all non-ASCII unicode strings are broken. (LP: #87757)
