[Bug 1067542] [NEW] possible for some do-release-upgrade crashes to be unreportable

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

Depending on when ubuntu-release-upgrader crashes it is possible for the
bug to be unreportable because apport determines that the package is not
an official package.  This can happen if sources have been updated to
the next release, e.g. quantal, and then ubuntu-release-upgrader
crashes.  I saw this in http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275147/.  There we can
see:

Package: update-manager-core 1:0.156.14.11
UnreportableReason: This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again.

I believe setting the environmental variable APPORT_DISABLE_DISTRO_CHECK
would allow the bug to be reported.  However, its odd that this is the
first time this has been encountered / reported afaik.
