I know what causes this now. I can recreate this on a virtualbox VM
using hte following steps:
Disable all network ports on VM
Install 12.04.4 via ISO image to VM
After install, log in
run apport-bug --save filename linux
and you'll get the errors noted in the original.
I'm doing some test work at a customer site where internet access is
forbidden. So while my test servers DO have active network cards, they
have no access to the internet.
At a guess, I'm thinking perhaps apport can't check the package vs the
repo at archive.ubuntu.com and thus claims that the linux packages are
not "Real Ubuntu Packages"
If I do the same steps above, but with an active network connection to
the internet, apport works fine.
Given that we in cert do a LOT of work inside labs where you're not
allowed to connect to the internet, this can be a real problem. (same
goes for OEM engineers who work every day inside those same types of
labs)

Title:
linux and linux-image-generic are not Ubuntu packages

Confirmed

Confirmed
Bug description:
I attemted to use apport to file a bug against the kernel today like
so:
apport-bug --save=filename linux
and got the following error:
*** Problem in linux
The problem cannot be reported
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party
package and try again.
This was seen on a fresh, STOCK install of 12.04.4 amd64 server, with NO 3rd
party packages installed.
This same error occurred for the following package names:
linux
linux-image-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic
This makes it rather impossible to file kernel bugs against 12.04.4.
