[Bug 1773012] Re: kernel bugs in bionic are reported about linux-signed and package hook doesn't run

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

  During the development of bionic the linux-image-$kvers-$flavor package
  was changed from being built from the linux package to the linux-signed
  package, however apport was not updated in bionic for this change.
  Subsequently, the apport package hook for linux doesn't run for linux-
  signed bug reports. Additionally, the kernel team would like reports
  about linux-signed redirected to the linux package.
+ 
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ 1) In a terminal run 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic'
+ 2) In the crash report dialog observe the following:
+   a) The source package is linux-signed
+   b) ProcFB is not included
+ 
+ With the version of the package from -proposed the source package will
+ be linux and ProcFB will be included.
