Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

At present, Dependencies.txt seems to be in an arbitrary order (e.g. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28237391/Dependencies.txt), which makes it difficult to scan visually for a particular package which might be interesting.

Sorting the list would fix this easily.

I guess "for dep in sorted(dependencies):" in apport/report.py, add_package_info() should do it. Needs testing, of course.

I tested this, and it works fine, so I went ahead and committed it to trunk.
