Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kvm
I spoke with Dustin about this on IRC a while back, and may be fixing it
already, but I'm logging it here for tracking purposes.
Presently, the kvm apport hook does this:
report['AllPkgs'] = command_output(['dpkg-query', '--show', '--showformat',
'${Package} ${Version}\n'])
which attaches a list of *all* packages in the dpkg database and their
version numbers. This is sub-optimal because:
1. It is a lot of data (50k per bug report), most of which is unnecessary
2. It may reveal information about the system which the user does not wish to
expose (e.g. potential security vulnerabilities, names of unreleased products,
etc.)
Instead, I suggest using the hookutils "attach_related_packages"
function (pydoc apport.hookutils.attach_related_packages), and providing
a list of relevant packages (glob patterns are supported).
