** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
  When Apport is used with systemd-coredump, the CoreDump is zstd
  compressed (instead of gzip). When filing Launchpad bugs, the zstd
  compressed CoreDump is attached to the bug named CoreDump.gz (see bug
  #2148535 for example). The file should be named CoreDump.zstd instead.
  apport-retrace will complain about this coredump file, because it is not
  valid gzip.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ Besides the autopkgtest test coverage:
+ 
+ 1. Install systemd-coredump
+ 2. Reboot (to ensure systemd-coredump is used)
+ 3. Call: divide-by-zero
+ 4. Report the crash to qastaging: APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_INSTANCE=qastaging 
apport-cli /var/crash/_usr_bin_divide-by-zero.1000.crash
+ 5. Retrace that reported bug: APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_INSTANCE=qastaging 
apport-retrace --auth ~/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials -S system 
$bug_namber
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The change is in the code that handles submitting problem reports to
+ Launchpad. It could affect reporting bugs against Ubuntu and could cause
+ breaking retracing them.
