I believe this is somewhat fixed in the latest sosreport.  We don't
collect core dumps because they could be huge however...

We do collect 
/var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id
            "gdbus call -y -d com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences \
            -o /com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences \
            -m com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences.GetIdentifier")

Which can be used to find the errors.ubuntu.com report of a crash (with
possible auto triage to a bug!)

And we collect
ls -alh /var/crash/
bash -c 'grep -B 50 -m 1 ProcMaps /var/crash/*

Which let's us get the header information from all the crashdumps.

As Jorge mentioned, I've never seen the /var/log/crash/cores before...

Lastly, 3.0.1 is a very old (12.04 specific?) version of sosreport...
