Bug Description

The whoopsie change which allows sending of any field less than 1 KB and creates a blacklist of not sent fields should be backported to Trusty.

Test Case
---------
1) launch update-manager
2) kill -11 the update-manager process
3) locate the update-manager .crash file and observe GsettingsChanges in it
4) send crash report to Error Tracker (look for .uploaded file)
5) view crash report in Error Tracker (find OOPS ID by looking at syslog / whoopsie status)
6) observe GsettingsChanges not in it

With the version of the package from -proposed GsettingsChanges should appear on the OOPS page for the crash that was sent. An example can be found at https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/a33cc22e-699c-11e6-909a-fa163eec78fa

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted whoopsie into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/0.2.24.6ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

That OOPS contains GSettingsChanges, setting to verification-done.
