Bug Description

Test Case
---------
Check existing problems in the error tracker to see if version numbers start appearing on the bucket page.

Description
-----------
In the apport package hook we can see the following:

   report['Package'] = package

Apport itself would have written this as "package version" and the Error Tracker is written to parse the Package key into package and version. However, this fails with dkms packages e.g.:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/458a601a-c528-11e4-8b55-fa163e4ccdf2

This then leads to problem buckets with no version information which naturally isn't useful.

https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=dkms%3Abroadcom-sta-dkms%3A6.30.223.141-1%3A/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.141/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c%3A1844%3A4%3A%20error%3A%20too%20few%20arguments%20to%20function%20%E2%80%98cfg80211_ibss_joined%E2%80%99

I've fixed this in Vivid with package version 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu2, but this fix should be SRU'ed to 14.04 and 14.10

  * Add apport_package_key_with_version.patch: Include the package version in
    the Package data as apport does this with any crash file it creates and
    the Error Tracker expects to find the version there.
