This is done on purpose. When the crash happens, we only collect a minimal amount of information, and the expensive bits (like package versions, md5sum checks, invoking gdb) are moved to the frontend.

However, if you do not want to run the .crash file through the UI first, you can call apport-retrace with

  -R, --rebuild-package-info
                        Rebuild report's Package information

(from --help output).
