Just to summarize the situation: It seems that if you have apport installed inside an LXC container, that apport creates reports, rather than doing the forwarding dance. Unfortunately, the core_pattern does not know about name spaces.

So if we change the host to use a new pattern with named arguments, older apport in containers is broken - and needs to be SRUed. So this needs some sort of flag day transition. To minimize the impact of the transition, a good strategy seems to be the following:

1. Upload apport that understands named arguments and SRU it everywhere
2. Wait some time
3. Change core_pattern in devel
4. Wait some time
5. Change core_pattern everywhere else

Right?
