Bug#796464: general: there is no auto crash reporting



Package: general
Severity: important

debian should implement an automatic crash detection and reporting system like
Fedora and Ubuntu teams have.If not mistaken, Fedora uses upstream of what
ubuntu uses --apport.

There is no reason for debian to not have this feature.Yes, it is mostly a gui
tool. Debian is used on both client workstations and servers.

Tool should catch crashes as they happen and allow users to report them.It
should auto-generate and allow people to auto generate debugging backtrace
reports, installing gdb packages as needed.This would generate useful traces
for developers in non-trivial way.

Hint: corekeeper? ..but that is console based. Who uses a console these days?
