Title:
  Apport questions about kernel crashes confusing

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  The questions that Apport asks about the details of one's kernel (i.e.
  "Is this kernel upstream?") are terribly confusing, full of
  programming jargon and do not mean anything to a regular computer
  user. I believe that the the main ways to resolve this would be one or
  more of the following:

  - Automatically gather data about the user's kernel
  - Simplify questions
  - Add an "I don't know" response
  - Provide help on how to gather the necessary information to answer the questions
