>W.r.t. use of apport, there could not be anything in apport as the
application didn't start at all, isn't it?

Whether or not the application starts, ubuntu-bug still adds information
based on the package. I pulled up a random example, if you take a look
at the last section in bug 1558370, that's automatically added info on
package version, the Ubuntu release and architecture. (Fair enough, for
an interpreted language the CPU architecture often doesn't matter, but
there are cases where some bugs only happen on certain hardware and it
is not possible to reproduce elsewhere).

In this case, it's pretty straight forward to recreate. (And the
suggested solution looks good, I hope the maintainers will take a look
at it soon :) ) But there are cases where it helps with the additional
information to tell if the bug might have been fixed in a newer release,
or if I'm missing something.
