Yes, I believe Apport is not doing the right thing.
I have not searched for any public bugs containing sensitive information.

But I noticed ProcMaps.txt containing the username, which some may consider private.
I would suggest that Apport scrub it.

So if my username is 'alice' it replace it with 'foobar', 'ubuntu',
'<scrubbed>', 'anonymous' or something.
