So I consider the Apport side of that "wontfix". An absent key is better
than an arbitrary "undefined" string value. But I guess most of the
relevant cases here come from missing click package info (bug 1365079),
so I propose that we'll fix that instead.

Title:
  if apport can't determine the package it creates a report without a
  package key

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In the event that apport's add_package_info is not passed a package
  parameter and
  apport.fileutils.find_file_package(self['ExecutablePath']) returns
  nothing then a report is created without a Package key. This is
  currently the case with click packages, see bug 1365079.  However,
  independent of fixing that issue I think it might be worth while if
  apport were to add a Package key with "unknown" to the report to allow
  all these types of issues to be more easily found on the error
  tracker. This way the individual instances could be investigated and
  potentially resolved.
