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 |
