apt's dpkgpm.cc WriteApportReport function should gather more data

Status in apt source package in Eoan:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
While fixing bug 1813464 it occurred to me that it is not obvious that
the dist-upgrader tarball includes its own copy of invoke-rc.d and
that this has been complicated to debug more than once. The apport
information in that report was gathered by apt's dpkgpm.cc code and I
think we should extend that to gather additional information from the
environment at the time that the package installation failed. For
example the dist-upgrader sets the following:
os.environ["PATH"] = "%s:%s" % (os.getcwd()+"/imported",
os.environ["PATH"])
Gathering path from the environment would have made diagnosing bug
1813464 a lot easier. I tested modifying dpkgpm.cc with the following:
if(const char* env_p = std::getenv("PATH"))
fprintf(report, "EnvPATH: %s\n", env_p);
I then installed the crash-in-postinst package from the daisy-plucker-
seeds PPA and received a crash report with the EnvPATH key and value.
Its worth noting that when apport gathers environment information only
a white listed set of keys is gathered to prevent disclosing
potentially sensitive information. So we should look at what
environment variables the dist-upgrader sets and gather those at a
minimum.

No idea about Ubuntu specifically, but it should be in upstream since apt
1.8.0~alpha3 release on Tue, 18 Dec 2018 15:02:11 +0100.

If that is the case then how could have the original bug been an issue?

In the event that this were SRU'ed for it to be useful we'd need to SRU
apt to the release from which people were upgrading.
