[Bug 1766740] Re: apport autopkgtest regression due to kernel packaging changes

[Brian Murray]

If the source package has changed then there will also need to be an
additional apport package hook, symlink, for source_linux-signed.py
otherwise bug reports about kernels are going to be pretty incomplete.

Title:
  apport autopkgtest regression due to kernel packaging changes

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In bionic, linux-image-$kvers-$flavor is now built from the linux-
  signed source package on amd64, not from the linux source package.
  This now causes a test to fail in the apport test suite:

  [...]

  This test needs to be fixed to know about the packaging change.

  Note that this packaging change is expected to soon be SRUed back to
  all Ubuntu releases, so apport's testsuite change should also be
  SRUed.
