helpers/commit/5836b307724f8731b47d3d4d064ada1833182705 thus the package
is fixed in version debian/1.49 and later.

Bug description:
  Many of the apport hooks try to include some information about why a
  service didn't start correctly. One recent report included the
  following:

  May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux systemd[1]: Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell serv....
  May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux sshd[2500]: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 64: miss....
  May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux systemd[1]: [0;1;39mssh.service: Main process exited, ...a[0m

  May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux systemd[1]: [0;1;39mssh.service: Failed with result 'e....[0m
  Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

  
  The actual error information is this:

  /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 64: miss....
  and
  Failed with result 'e....

  This is very nearly useless.

  We should include the -l parameter as suggested so that we stand a
  chance of seeing an error that doesn't occur in the first twenty
  characters of program output.

  Thanks
