Thanks for the update, and attempt to `apport-collect`.  I too was
unsure what package to re-file against, and had forgotten it was against
the meta package when I pasted the apport-collect request.

Ubuntu 20.04.2 release date
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule) refers to the ISO
release date. Installed systems will upgrade to it before the scheduled
date (usually a few days, however if the ISO release date is pushed
back/delayed, the installed systems upgrades do not get delayed except
for extraordinary circumstances) as is normal.

The 5.8 kernel has been the -edge option for some time now in focal
repositories, so people using 20.04 that have installed packages that
have dependencies that bring in the latest -edge kernel will have 5.8
already which is expected; any who remained on the the stable kernel
still use 5.4

I suspect the issue is understanding, or you've added additional
packages added to your system (graphics drivers, 3rd party etc) that
have pulled in the -edge kernel option and you off the default stable
kernel path. I hoped to gain more detail from the apport-collect, but
the package name needs correction first, and I don't know what it should
be against (if it's a bug, If there is a bug, I suspect it's only
documentation).

I've assumed you're using Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop, thus the 5.8 kernel is
expected due to announced change; if you're on Ubuntu Server, then this
is more of an issue as that doesn't default to HWE like Desktop does.
The different path now (from 20.04) between Desktop & Server does make
the HWE documents a little harder to write for (both were the same up to
and including 18.04/bionic).

FYI:  Today's Lubuntu 20.04.2 daily (2021-01-14) still has the 5.4
kernel, but it's the only current focal daily I've used today.
