For reference, currently we don't enable the about:crashes URL at all unless crash reporting is enabled:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsAboutRedirector.cpp#73

And the content gets built in toolkit/crashreporter, which doesn't get built unless crash reporting is enabled:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/crashreporter/jar.mn

Should we also encourage distros to put their own instructions for getting a stack trace into about:crashes?  (See also bug 447771)
