It depends on both the configuration and how the user interacts with
ABRT. If there's a user who reports to bugzilla you'll get detailed
report. If not, you'll only get report from faf when number of reports
reaches certain threshold. We'll increase the threshold so there's
higher chance of someone creating more detailed report.

Even if you close these bugs with INSUFFICIENT DATA the server can point
people there and they might provide required data.
