-1 to the proposed solution.  I think it adds more problems than it
solves.

However, I agree with the premise that private apport crash reports
could use some improvements.

1.  Stripping of private data (core dumps) to make bug public.  This has
the problem that _sometimes_ you want to re-examine the core dump (such
as if the retracer failed or you want to poke around more interactively
via gdb.)

2.  Setting bugs private when there is no actual private data present.
Apport follows a "better safe than sorry" approach to keeping personal
data private, but in practice this is needed in a very small fraction of
the cases.  But perhaps by sharpening our pencil we could make apport a
bit smarter in differentiating when a bug report must be private?  By
simply making fewer bug reports private, this would more directly reduce
the scope of the original problem stated in this bug report.
