Title:
  whoopsie id is not unique

Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The list of reports for a system actually includes reports for several
  different systems:

  For example in this report:
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/374ff29e-fb53-11e7-83ad-fa163e192766
  the system has been installed on 2018-01-12 (user is mickymouse)

  when you open the list of reports for this system
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ca33fcf9202a7f0e2941820648d407f607ae410d3ef3ca17769a2ab321dc8315b82f3e155845ce915e5efca4b9da29b9ef506adc11149c0f7d11e577508c4590

  there are several reports which pre-dates the installation. Selecting other reports in the list show different systems. For example this report is from another system:
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/a614887e-acad-11e7-b1f8-fa163e839e11

  whoopsie uses first tries to use /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid then
  falls back to other things.

  It seems that /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is sometimes a bogus
  value e.g.

  00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009
