Public bug reported:

I've discovered that if you have a file in /etc/apport/native-origins.d/
for a PPA then that origin information is stripped from the Package
field of the report.

Test Case
1) Ensure that /etc/apport/native-origins.d/thunderbird contains LP-PPA-mozillateam-thunderbird-next
2) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-next
3) sudo apt-get update
4) sudo apt-get install thunderbird
5) ubuntu-bug thunderbird (apport-cli thunderbird)
6) view package field in the report

Package: thunderbird 1:38.0~b6+build2-0ubuntu1

Instead I would expect the Package field to contain a "[origin: LP-PPA-
mozillateam-thunderbird-next]" after the Package name. Additionally, my
branch to retrace packages from PPAs depends on the origin information
being there.

Discussing this with pitti he said that "this needs fixing".
