Apport adds "UnreportableReason" field to bugs reported through it

It did not happen for this package now..
Maybe only when the package version is "None"? (which is strange, too)

This happened to me when I was trying to install a package and it failed. Attached is the crash report that I couldn't report.

From backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py:

        if self._cache(package).installedVersion is None:
            return False # LP#252734

This might be the causing some of issues.

installedVersion might also be None if someone were to use ubuntu-bug for a package they don't have installed which seems like a valid use case.

This actually has several parts:

 - In bug filing mode, the apport UI does not check the UnreportableReason: field.

 - Sometimes adds "Package: kdepim None", if package is not installed; this should be a valid use case for reporting bugs, though

   * For filing crashes, check if package is installed
   * Do not collect package information in bug filing mode if package is not installed

trunk r1446
