Public bug reported:

The apport package hook for dkms packages seems to have an error in its
supported kernel check.  If the kernel is an unsupported one, the hook
should exit with a return code of 1.  However, in the Ubuntu Error
Tracker we can see some crashes with unsupported kernel versions e.g.:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency

https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency

If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's
do that.
