another option would be to simply make apport use the manifest files on cdimage or launchpad or provide another way of handling this data remotely ... after all whoopsie and apport rely on being able to send the reports to a server so a usable network connection exists at some point. 
this would also help for future use of apport on snappy personal or snappy based phone images where we have neither apt nor dpkg available at all.

Title:
  do not require apt lists to be pre-installed

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On the phone images the space required for the lists in
  /var/lib/apt/lists is excessive (around 70MB) for the device targets
  we have. The partition it currently resides in did not include this
  requirement when their size was specified.

  Possible solutions include generating the list dynamically as part of
  the writable partition or including a smaller  simpler manifest.

  This report was inspired by bug #1471903
