Bug Description

To test:
gnome-language-selector &; PID="$\!"; sleep 3; kill -SEGV $PID
apport-cli /var/crash/*gnome-language-selector*.crash

View the report, make sure it has both an InstallationDate field and UpgradeStatus field.

Original report follows:
We need to include the date that Ubuntu was installed with each new apport report. This lets us answer questions that pay particular attention to when a crash occurred relative to installation like, "What is the percentage of systems that have a high initial rate of crashes, which continue submitting crash reports after a week / a month / three months?"
