There may be some concern here about apport gathering information about
the kernel not in use.  Like maybe /proc/fb is different or something.

Title:
  remove limitation to only be able to report if the running kernel is
  no mainline kernel

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Whilst it's necessary to enforce mainline kernel bugs to be directed
  upstream immediately it's not constructive to prevent reporting issues
  of an Ubuntu kernel if a mainline kernel is running, e.g. if the
  Ubuntu kernel 4.4.0-9-generic of 16.04 doesn't start, but the
  previously installed 4.2.5 mainline does, then the user might want to
  invoke `ubuntu-bug linux-image-4.4.0-9-generic` and report against the
  Ubuntu kernel, but can't because `apport` refuses since a mainline
  kernel is running.
