Why do you need the package version? Getting this is not that cheap,
since you have to instantiate an apt.Cache() object first. Also, that
report is missing all the information about the hardware etc. which
needs to be added to bug reports.

If you just want the add_os_info() stuff, and that helps for something,
I'm fine with adding it to the hook.

Running "apport-retrace" on an unprocessed .crash file never has been a
"supported" use case, but in order to make that work anyway, apport-
retrace has this option:

  -R, --rebuild-package-info
                        Rebuild report's Package information

This works well for signal crashes, and I believe it should work for
kernel crashes as well.
