Sorry I was wrong about apport-collect. It seems it will require a web
browser to log in the first time it is used. From then on it will store
the credentials for later. From the man page of apport-collect:

       ~/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials
              In order to add new information to  the  bug  report,  the  user
              needs  to log into Launchpad. The first time you run apport-col‐
              lect you will be directed to the Launchpad login  page  in  your
              web  browser.   Allow  the  script  to  change  all  data (write
              access), and just follow the instructions.

              The credentials are written to this cache file  so  if  you  run
              apport-collect the next time you do not need to log in any more.

It seems that also ubuntu-bug (a.k.a. apport-bug) can upload the apport-
file post mortem (from a working system). From its man page:

       Finally, you can use this program to report a previously  stored  crash
       or bug report:

           apport-bug /var/crash/_bin_bash.1000.crash
           apport-bug /tmp/apport.firefox.332G9t.apport

       (Bug reports can be written to a file with apport-cli.)

       apport-bug detects whether KDE or Gnome is running and calls apport-gtk
       or apport-kde accordingly. If neither is available, or the session does
       not run under X11, it calls apport-cli for a command-line client.
