This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.300

---------------
casper (1.300) precise; urgency=low

  * 33enable_apport_crashes: If enabling apport (i. e. on a released Ubuntu
    versions), only report crashes for Ubiquity. Do not report general
    desktop-ish crashes, for the same reasons why we disable them for
    Ubuntu releases after installation. (LP: #593606)

Title:
  only keep apport running for installer crashes

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  We currently disable apport on stable releases for various reasons:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How%20to%20enable%20apport

  However, casper re-enables it on the live system, mainly to be able to
  report installer crashes. However, we should only limit that to
  installer failures, since reporting general desktop-ish crashes is
  moot. Packages are almost guaranteed to be out of date, which causes
  confusion and frustration.
