Public bug reported:

The change to apport in bug 1039220, not to report crashes with an
UnreportableReason of "The problem happened with the program.*which
changed since the crash occurred." seems to have regressed somehow.
While the code looks the same I was able to create a crash file with the
following content:

UnreportableReason: The problem happened with the program /usr/games/gnome-sudoku which changed since the crash occurred.
_MarkForUpload: True


_MarkForUpload in this case should be False not True. This crash file was created on Trusty by following the steps in bug 1272716, choosing not to report the crash when apport asked, then installing the fixed version of gnome-sudoku, and running apport-bug /var/crash/_usr_games_gnome-sudoku.1000.crash.

You can see the crash I reported at
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/3bd482e4-4369-11e4-b6e3-fa163e22e467.
Notice how the ExecutableTimestamp (Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:57:56 GMT) is
from well before the date of the SRU for gnome-sudoku.
