True, it's not a total fix. People there are more likely to be
running official packages, therefore we only need to make sure the
extensions are built correctly once. (Except they might be coming
from fink or similar or Mac, or cygwin on Windows...)
We could include the list of extension failures in the traceback.
I do think apport will work ok on those platforms or be easy to fix,
and we should bundle it. Giving a crash file will probably be even
more appreciated by people not used to copying errors from terminals.
Alexander tried it and it looks like it will work but the dependencies
are annoying.
