oem kernel packages treated differently from generic kernel ones

sudo ln -s source_linux.py /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_linux-oem.py
sudo ln -s source_linux.py /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_linux-oem-osp1.py

Above commands would fix this issue. Judging from all other source_linux* symlinks are created by apport package itself (via %srcpkg/debian/apport.links), I suggest we add two more links for oem/oem-osp1 kernels, too.

Maybe the best solution is to install such links in every kernel related source packages built kernel image packages themselves. :X

So before the merge proposal[1] is accepted, you can take following steps to file a bug with all the information for kernel packages:

1. find out the source package name for the binary kernel package. It should be "linux-signed-oem[-osp1]" for signed kernel packages, and "linux-oem[-osp1]" for unsigned ones.

  $ apt show ${pkg} | grep ^Source:

2. create symlinks for apport:

  $ sudo ln -s source_linux.py /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_${srcpkg}.py

3. appport-bug ${pkg}

I've merged the the change in the linked branch to focal's branch of apport. Is this something you'd like to see SRU'ed to eoan?

Yes, it was made before Focal was out, but definitely want it to be SRU-ed to all series with linux-oem/linux-oem-osp1 kernels.

Created:
* https://code.launchpad.net/~vicamo/ubuntu/bionic/apport/bug-1847967/+merge/376380
* https://code.launchpad.net/~vicamo/ubuntu/disco/apport/bug-1847967/+merge/376381
* https://code.launchpad.net/~vicamo/ubuntu/eoan/apport/bug-1847967/+merge/374263

We have some outstanding security fixes in apport to do but we'll scheduled SRU'ing this after those are out.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.11-0ubuntu13

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * Create additional symlinks to the source_linux.py apport package hook for
    many OEM kernels. Thanks to You-Sheng Yang for the patch. (LP: #1847967)

  [ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
  * Fix autopkgtest failures since recent security update: (LP: #1854237)
    - Fix regression in creating report for crashing setuid process by getting
      kernel to tell us the executable path rather than reading
      /proc/[pid]/exe.
    - Fix deletion of partially written core files.
    - Fix test_get_logind_session to use new API.
    - Restore add_proc_info raising ValueError for a dead process.
    - Delete test_lock_symlink, no longer applicable now that the lock is
      created in a directory only root can write to.

Another way to verify the fix is just to confirm that the symlinks are now created, which they are with apport version 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.4 (19.10).
