Title:
  DKMS build failures are not filed correctly

Status in Apport:
  Invalid
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When kernel header packages (linux*-headers) are installed/upgraded,
  all installed DKMS modules are rebuilt. Currently, if any of that
  rebuild fails, a bug if filed for the kernel header package which is
  incorrect.

  There are two different scenarios, both of which are not kernel
  problems:

  1) An official DKMS package from the Ubuntu archive fails to build ->
  A bug should be raised for that DKMS package and the build log should
  be attached.

  2) An unsupported DKMS package fails to build -> No bug should be
  filed, but ideally the user should be made aware of the situation.

  An example invalid bug is bug 2067015.
