Title:
  add distinct feedback for unsupported third party packages

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently there's no way (at least based on `man apport-bug`) to tell
  if apport failed due to an unexpected exception or refused to submit
  data because the package it was supposed to create a bug report for is
  a third party package.

  Afaik, `man apport-bug` doesn't clearly mention the major limitation
  of `apport-bug` which is not to support third party PPA packages at
  all.
