[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
+   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.
+ be linux and ProcFB will be included. Also test 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-
+ generic' to and check to see that the crash report contains the same
+ information as above.
+ 
+ Regression Potential
+ --------------------
+ The code that redirects bugs from linux-signed to linux was written and that change, if it were bad, could negatively affect bugs reported about the linux-meta package. So it'd be good to test that process by running 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic' with the -proposed version of the package.
