---------------
apport (2.14.1-0ubuntu3.12) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * Keep "[origin: ...]" information in Package: and Dependencies: fields
    for native-origins.d/ origins, so that it's possible to retrace them and
    so that bugs are reported about the right project. (LP: #1470572)
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: for reports where the ProblemType is Package
    always include information about the apt and dpkg versions.

Title:
  native-origins.d information causes apport to strip origin information
  from Package

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Vivid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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".
