What's the advantage over bug-buddy? Can't bug-buddy be extended to
implement similar functionality?
Would it make sense to integrate a kernel level SEGV handler instead of
going via libgnomeui? I was under the impression that this is what the
Ubuntu folks achieved [1]; this seems more generic as it would cover
other DE (Xfce, KDE) but also other application crashes such as web
server, databases etc.
If it's bound to GNOME, it's of course fine in pkg-gnome but you might
want to name it gdebreaper or gnome-deb-RIP to reflect this.
