I've seen "truncated" report files being listed as `UnreportableReason`.
In that case showing the reporting dialog doesn't make sense. I doubt
that users who are not apport developers pay attention to that field
without any further feedback/interaction from the apport dialog, but
they should since if they're already willing to report bugs, they're
most likely willing to update outdated packages.

Title:
dialog displayed even if there's an unreportable reason
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
A dialog about a crashing application is displayed even if there's an
"UnreportableReason" property present (which one only find when
scrolling down the dialog). Displaying the dialog in that case doesn't
make too much sense because the issue can't be reported with useful
information and the user should either not be annoyed or get the
opportunity to deactivate the displaying of the `apport-gtk` dialog if
the report is broken.
