[Bug 1417232] [NEW] Rename 'overlayfs' module as per upstream name 'overlay'

 

Public bug reported:

Module has been renamed upstream:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ef94b1864d1ed5be54376404bb23d22ed0481feb

The reason is that some distros might want to keep 2 modules, 'overlay'
and 'overlayfs'.

However this is not the case for the kernel shipped by Ubuntu; would it
be possible to support the new module name?

** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => linux-meta (Ubuntu)
