Bug Description

Because packaging.package_name_glob returns an empty list for unknown packages, hookutils.package_versions will skip those packages entirely. Instead, it should include them with an explicit "N/A" to confirm they are not installed.

  * New upstream release:
    - Better standard bug titles for Python crashes. Thanks Matt Zimmerman!
      (LP: #681574)
    - Add handler for uncaught Java exceptions. There is no integration for
      automatically intercepting all Java crashes yet, see java/README.
      Thanks Matt Zimmerman! (LP: #548877)
    - GTK frontend: Require GTK 3.0.
    - launchpad.py: Default to "production" instance, not "edge", since edge
      is obsolete now.
    - hookutils.py, attach_alsa(): Fix crash if /proc/asound/cards does not
      exist. (LP: #626215)
    - ui.py, format_filesize(): Fix to work with stricter locale.format() in
      Python 2.7. (LP: #688535). While we are at it, also change it to use
      base-10 units.
    - hookutils.py, package_versions(): Always include all requested package
      names even if they're unknown to us. Thanks Matt Zimmerman!
      (LP: #695188)
    - launchpad.py: When updating a bug, also add new tags. Thanks Brian
      Murray!
  * debian/apport.install: Install Java crash handler in
    /usr/share/apport/apport.jar.
  * debian/control: Add Java build dependency so that the Java crash handler
    will be built.
