Invoking `ubuntu-bug xorg` fails with AssertionError

    ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_xorg.py crashed:

which is bad feedback for the user. In case something is missing it
should be added as a dependency to `apport` or an understandable error
message should be provided or the error should be silently skipped.
