Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
As per our IRC conversation. In order to detect that there was a kernel
crash which was handled by kdump, there will be a /var/crash/vmcore.log
that exists on boot. Accompanying this should be a /var/crash/vmcore
(which is the actual kernel core file), but it can some times be missing
if there was an error writing it to the harddrive, or reading from
/proc/vmcore.
Apport should tell the user that a kernel crash occurred. If there is a
vmcore file, the user should file a bug and include that file. No bug
report should be filed without the vmcore file (either because the user
didn't want to, or because it didn't exist).
Note that this functionality will only exist when the user has manually
installed kdump related packages and a debug kernel. It is hoped that
this will be facilitated with a linux-kdump-generic meta package (and
similar for other flavors).
