[Bug 1399836] [NEW] RELEASE_UPRADER_NO_APPORT seems to have no effect

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

I was trying to test the alternate paths in run_apport of
DistUpgradeApport.py and was setting RELEASE_UPRADER_NO_APPORT=1 but
this seemed to have no effect.  I tested this upgrading from utopic to
vivid and from trusty to utopic.

I examined os.environ right before the failure I'd created (a divide by
0 error in DistUpgradeController.py) and that key existed, so it seems
like DistUpgradeApport or the call to it is unsetting that variable
somehow.
