Skia found the better solution: Just install apport-noui

apport-noui depends on whoopsie and does this on post-install:

```
touch /var/lib/apport/autoreport

# start the autoreport service on installation
if [ -x "/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper" ]; then
        deb-systemd-invoke start 'apport-autoreport.path' >/dev/null || true
fi
```

Title:
  Please document how to enable/disable autoreporting

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We got the question: How is apport autoreporting enabled in a headless
  system?

  I found https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-
  to/software/report-a-bug/ but that does not say anything about the
  autoreporting. I found a lot of very old documentation that did not
  help.

  Please document how to enable/disable autoreporting. In case this
  documentation lives outside the apport code base, the documentation in
  the apport code should point to that documentation.
