Title:
  FTBFS on LP buildd infrastructure

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in apport source package in Noble:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The package FTBFS on the LP builders due to the cloud build name
  containing the 'buildd' string, thus failing the anonymization test.
  This makes it difficult to do a Noble SRU :)

  It's a false positive, that particular field isn't relevant when
  looking for PII, it's just a side-effect of the extremely artificial
  build environment.

  The fix is to skip that test when such a case is detected.

  [ Test plan ]

  Check the build logs to see that the test has been skipped.
  Also build the package in a local schroot and check that the test has NOT been skipped and has passed.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Since we're skipping the tests we could have a regression on that very
  feature, which is the reason for the local build in the test plan.

  [ Original report ]
  This might be only in PPAs and/or a recent change in our build environment, but when trying to rebuild the package for an upcoming SRU I got a nice FTBFS.
