upstart apport hook asks me in a crash report whether this is for the system init or a desktop session, when it should already know

Bug Description

I just had a user session init crash, after which I got an apport popup and it presented me a dialog asking me to choose between "System" and "Desktop Session". There should be no reason to present the user this question for a crash, all the information is already available in the crash file.

This seems to be because ProblemType was "RecoverableProblem" which is not currently handled by the upstart apport hook.
