apport can and does send report to two separate systems, Launchpad and
the Ubuntu Error Tracker.  Sending of reports to the Ubuntu Error
Tracker is non-interactive and crashes can be sent to it automatically
if whoopsie-upload-all is installed and /var/lib/apport/autoreport
exists.  This is useful to Ubuntu developers as we then know what which
crashes are affecting a lot of users.

Unfortunately, there was a bug in ubuntu-bug which made it impossible
for people to report bugs to Launchpad if whoopsie-upload-all was
installed.  This has not yet been resolved in Trusty although I just
uploaded a fix for this for the SRU queue team to review.

Removing /var/lib/apport/autoreport isn't a good workaround as then you
won't be automatically reporting crashes to the Error Tracker.
