The issue is "fixed" for precise in that Apport has been turned off (or
rather, switched to "whoopsie-only mode").  Thus, the gpu hook won't be
getting triggered any more.

But that is just sweeping the problem under the carpet.  It'll still
need sorted out when Q-series opens...

** Description changed:

+ [Problem]
+ The GPU lockup detection in the gpu freeze apport hook is a bit too sensitive 
and flags bug reports in situations where the GPU did not actually lock up.  
This generates a lot of false-positive bug reports in Ubuntu, of which this one 
is an example.
+ 
+ We've communicated with upstream (Intel) about this.  The false gpu
+ lockup that triggers this really shouldn't be occurring at all, but it's
+ unclear why it does.  However, upstream has sufficient information on
+ the problem, so we don't really gain much by continuing to gather these
+ reports.  They're a bit annoying to users so quelling them may make
+ running the development version of the distro a little calmer.
