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.:

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