Now I'm thinking this is more an apport problem than a kernel problem.
Sound reasonable?

Title:
  linux and linux-image-generic are not Ubuntu packages

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I attemted to use apport to file a bug against the kernel today like
  so:

  apport-bug --save=filename linux

  and got the following error:

  *** Problem in linux
  The problem cannot be reported

  This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party
  package and try again.

  
  This was seen on a fresh, STOCK install of 12.04.4 amd64 server, with NO 3rd party packages installed.

  This same error occurred for the following package names:

  linux
  linux-image-generic
  linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic

  This makes it rather impossible to file kernel bugs against 12.04.4.
