Bug Description

[Impact]

source_xorg.py apport hook does not work if python3 is not installed.

[Test case]

install on a clean system, check that apport-bug xorg does the right thing.

[Regression potential]

Minimal, just adds the correct dependencies that were missing.

This bug was fixed in the package xorg - 1:7.7+19ubuntu6

---------------
xorg (1:7.7+19ubuntu6) bionic; urgency=medium

  * control: Add python3-apport to xserver-xorg depends due to the apport hook.
    (LP: #1730035)
  * control: Depend on x11proto-dev instead of the old packages.

So now I am required to have apport installed if I want xorg?
I've been running Ubuntu since the first release, and I have always removed apport immediately after a clean install.

Now, I can't do that, because xorg+xserver-xorg seem to have hard-depends on python3-apport.

For those who really don't want python3-apport and apport installed, despite what Ubuntu maintainers say:
Create a new package with "Provides: python3-apport" that is otherwise empty.
Then python3-apport and apport can be uninstalled.
