apport (0.30) feisty; urgency=low
.
   * test-apport, use-local: Support both kernel 2.6.17 and 2.6.19 sysctl names
     (crashdump-helper vs. crashdump).
   * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Improve dialog title capitalization.
     Closes: LP#70652.
   * debian/apport.cron.daily: Immediately exit if /var/crash does not exist.
     Create /var/crash in debian/apport.init if it does not exist.
     Closes: LP#71599
   * Convert all tabs in Python source code files to spaces to comply to PEP 8.
     Thanks to Robert Collins for pointing this out.
   * apport_utils.py, gtk/apport-gtk: Do not pass None to subprocess arguments
     if report belongs to a non-packaged program. Thanks to Robert Collins for
     discovering and fixing this! Closes: LP#70942
   * debian/apport.init: Change /var/crash permissions to 1777, so that custom
     crash handlers (in Python/Mono/etc.) can put reports there.
