Public bug reported:

Some packages, e.g. `xorg` and `synaptic` locally gather and upload a
large set of (or a few large) log or other files which is not necessary
in cases where issues which don't need such files are reported. Adding
control to select the set of files to be uploaded (e.g. in collapsible
pane labeled "extended option" in the `apport-gtk` dialog) would prevent
usage of local resources during file gathering and traffic during upload
to launchpad.net.
