For extras.u.c ship crashdb.conf to opt/extras.ubuntu.com/<app>/etc/apport/crashdb.conf.d/<app>-crashdb.conf

I believe this is actually a quickly bug, not python-distutils-extra.

Quickly generates the crashdb file, and then fails to ensure it is moved to the proper place when building an ARB-style package.

Moreover, the debian/rules patch that is going around to fix this issue would appear to tack on to the end of what Quickly specifically generates for debian/rules when building an extras.u.c style package.

Attached is a patch for the quickly ubuntu-application template that is based on the code in this: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dholbach/ubuntu-app-reviews/cuckoo/revision/59

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please note that with current apport you don't need to ship a crashdb.conf snippet any more, you can directly define the crash db in the package hook. Package hooks in /opt work now.

The attached patch does not apply sanely to packaging.py FYI

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
