Public bug reported:
Apport should collect debconf configs if there are any for the package
or at least provide a helper function for it. Example:
```
$ debconf-show tzdata 2>/dev/null
tzdata/Zones/Legacy:
tzdata/Zones/Indian:
tzdata/Zones/America:
tzdata/Zones/Atlantic:
tzdata/Zones/Etc: UTC
tzdata/Zones/Africa:
* tzdata/Zones/Europe: Berlin
tzdata/Zones/Antarctica:
tzdata/Zones/US:
tzdata/Zones/Australia:
tzdata/Zones/Asia:
tzdata/Zones/Pacific:
* tzdata/Areas: Europe
tzdata/Zones/Arctic:
```
IMO should be collected by default for package installation issues.
