Bug Description

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.:

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