The version of apport in bionic-proposed passed its autopkgtests now.

Title:
  apport autopkgtest regression due to kernel packaging changes

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]
  In bionic, linux-image-$kvers-$flavor is now built from the linux-signed source package on amd64, not from the linux source package.  This now causes a test to fail in the apport test suite:

  [...]

  FAIL: test_run_crash_kernel (__main__.T)
  run_crash() for a kernel error

  /autopkgtest-
  bionic/bionic/amd64/a/apport/20180424_222219_45dc8@/log.gz)

  This test needs to be fixed to know about the packaging change.

  Note that this packaging change is expected to soon be SRUed back to
  all Ubuntu releases, so apport's testsuite change should also be
  SRUed.

  [Test case]
  This passes if the autopkgtests pass.

  [Regression potential]
  The test could be changed to pass while leaving underlying issues in the code.  This has probably not happened here.
