Why is this a wontFix?!?!?

If apport-collect depends on a package which is not installed, then when trying to run it, it should give this warning:

$ apport-collect
You need to run 'sudo apt-get install python-apport' for apport-collect to work.

Instead it says:
$ apport-collect 1250488
ERROR: The launchpadlib Python module is not installed. This functionality is not available.

and you have to figure out what the hell you need to install. That's a bug.
