Title:
  Check if reportable, before offering to report

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  At the moment, 90% of crashes are non-reportable, because the rdepends
  installed packages are deemed to be out of date.

  Ideally apport should check if non-reportability is going to be the
  case before showing the dialogue/notification and if so, go straight
  to the:

    "An application crashed, but it is unreportable because: The
  following packages are out of date: x, y, z" screen.

  This would avoid pretending to offer users a choice over something
  that they have no control over.
