Minor note related to the test case & implementation:

AFAIK apport.packaging.enabled() checks /etc/default/apport file contents for '^\s*enabled\s*=\s*0\s*$' regexp.
Meanwhile default contents of that file (on natty) are as follows:

# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
# you can temporarily override this with
# sudo service apport start force_start=1
enabled=0

Should that "temporarily override" part be removed altogether or changed to mention limits of such?
Or does that comment mean apport.packaging.enabled() should check such overrides as well?
