Comment 19 for bug 1813662

Hilko, you probably know this but it looks like in the original thread here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725

...that this could be fixed thusly:

To have this automatically happen with each new kernel, create /etc/kernel/postinst.d/statoverride:

  #!/bin/sh
  version="$1"
  # passing the kernel version is required
  [ -z "${version}" ] && exit 0
  dpkg-statoverride --add root root 0644 /boot/vmlinux-${version} --update

...can libguestfs package ship that script? Or would that be a policy violation of some sort?

It looks like if upon installation short script could be placed in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/statoverride, along with a "chmod 0644 /boot/vmlinuz*", then all those annoying bugreports from ubuntu users should go away.
