[Bug 2073399] [NEW] Aborting the removal of the running kernel triggers apport

[Juerg Haefliger]

Public bug reported:

If a user tries to remove the running kernel, they get a warning and are
asked if they really want to continue. If they decide not to, i.e.,
abort the removal of the running kernel, apport is triggered and wants
to submit a bug report. That should not happen.
