Title:
  apport-unpack crashed with ValueError in extract_keys(): ['Lspci'] has
  no binary content

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  So on s390x apport generates a-typical reports, as certain things that
  are usually present are absent on s390x. Subsequently apport-unpack
  fails to unpack certain reports as they lack data in some of the
  declared keys. as per below.

  Imho
  (1) apport-unpack should be resilent to empty/broken keys.
  (2) on s390x it should skip collecting useless data
