This feature should be postponed to the 2.31 version (i.e. the 25.04 cycle), as we don't fully understand the typical usage patterns of apport-retrace. We're talking about a substantial change, and having it targeted to 2.30 (which needs to be cut in the coming two weeks) would be rushing it, even though we don't actually have reports of it being an issue in production. It's only becoming a problem because we now have apport-retrace system tests during autopkgtests, which is by definition an artificial setting.
