[Bug 2048136] [NEW] Please support systemd-coredump as core dump handler

[Benjamin Drung]

Public bug reported:

There can only be one system core dump handler on a Linux system and
Apport is the Ubuntu default core dump handler. Besides Apport other
tools offer coredump handler, in particular systemd-coredump. Due to
Apport being installed on all Ubuntu system by default none of these
alternate system can be installed.

There has been some user request for this integration to work. Proper
integration between Apport and systemd-coredump would offer a better
experience to developers who want to use systemd-coredump. systemd-
coredump and coredumpctl provide more documentation and have more users
upstream.
