Finally, Launchpad is able to link bugs and hardware profiles via the LP webservice API.

If bug is a launchpadlib object representing a bug, and if hwsubmission is the launchpadlib representation of a hardware report in Launchpad, call

    bug.linkHWSubmission(hwsubmission)

to link the bag und the hardware report.

You can create the hwsubmission object by calling

    hwsubmission = lp.load('https://api.edge.launchpad.net/beta/+hwdb/+submission/%s' % submission_key)

where submission_key is the unique ID provided by checkbox in the field "field.submission_key" when it uploads the hardware report via https://launchpad.net/+hwdb/+submit .

So, apport can now create these links between bugs and and hardware reports -- if it knows the submission_key.

IIRC the problem remains that checkbox does not store at present submission_key on the user's machine.
