There is an apport cronjob, /etc/cron.daily/apport, which removes
crashes which are older than a week. If I recall correctly this predates
sending crash reports to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and
whoopsie-upload-all. So it'd make sense to have whoopsie-upload-all
remove the .crash and .upload files after the upload succeeded.

However, this is still something goofy going on with systemd.
