Title:
  dkms_apport.py reports bugs for unsupported kernel versions

Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  dkms 2.2.0.2-1ubuntu2 introduced a regression which causes apport to report bugs about unsupported kernel versions.
  For example bug #939928 is about kernel 3.3.0-rc4-ux31.

  -    if not apport.packaging.is_distro_package(kernel_package):
  -        print >> sys.stderr, 'ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package %s is not supported' % (kernel_package,)
  -        sys.exit(1)
  +    try:
  +        apport.packaging.is_distro_package(kernel_package)
  +    except ValueError, e:
  +        if e == 'package does not exist':
  +            print >> sys.stderr, 'ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package %s is not supported' % (kernel_package)
  +            sys.exit(1)

  The result of is_distro_package() isn't checked at all.
