[Bug 1778694] Re: In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences API, reports are not sent by whoopsie

[Didier Roche]

** Description changed:

  The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui to be installed, which we don't by default.
  apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part of apport binary package).
  
- As it doesn't make sense to have this is apport-noui separate pacakge
- (no more phone factor), which is in universe and to restore the
- functionality in an already released version, let's have apport, having
- a conditional file on whoopsie installed and autoreport enabled,
- shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to
- apport-autoreport.*) directly.
+ There is 2 possible solutions:
+ - promoting apport-noui to main, and seeding it.
+ - or considering there is no reason anymore to have a separate apport-noui pacakge (no more phone factor), and so move the systemd units to apport, having a conditional file on whoopsie installed (no more dependency) and autoreport enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to apport-autoreport.*) directly.

** Package changed: whoopsie (Ubuntu) => apport (Ubuntu)
