apport hook tags too many bugs regression-update

Fixed by just dropping the question.

This removes the feature for indicating possible regressions, so if that's useful to anyone it'll need to be identified some other way.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xdiagnose into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdiagnose/2.5.2 in a few hours and then in the -proposed repository.

This bug was fixed in the package xdiagnose - 2.9

---------------
xdiagnose (2.9) quantal; urgency=low

  * xdiagnose.udev: Make the GPU apport hook trigger on RESET=1 rather
    than ERROR=1, as an attempt to prevent capturing bug reports on false
    gpu lockups.
    (LP: #983640)
  * apport/source_xorg.py:
    - Link to all technical support options, not just to Ask Ubuntu.
      Reword recommendation to explain why technical support should be used
      first. Add a 'referred-by-support' tag so we can give those bugs
      priority attention. Provide an option to just file the bug.
      (LP: #991602)
    - Drop question to allow flagging regressions
      following updates, since bug reporters have been using it incorrectly,
      resulting in too many false positives.
      (LP: #1018510)
    - Clarify question about "willing to do whatever it takes" to specify
      that the debugging work may require gdb or git bisection work.
  * xdiagnose.desktop.in: Move xdiagnose to System/Settings menu. Provide
    a GenericName. Set the gettext domain.
  * debian/control: Add runtime dependency on librsvg2, required for
    displaying SVG icons.
    (LP: #969603)
