** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Apport is disabled in the release itself, so this hook should not be getting 
triggered at all.  However, for some users it does.  This wouldn't be a big 
deal, except it also gets triggered in cases where no GPU lockup was 
experienced (aka False GPU lockups - bug #983640), which gives poor user 
experience.
+ 
+ [Development Fix]
+ Since we want any and all GPU lockup reports in the development release, we 
leave things as they are, and focus on getting a targeted fix to just #983640.
+ 
+ [Stable Fix]
+ Since we don't intend for the GPU lockup hook to be run at all, whether or 
not Apport is enabled, in the stable release we forcefully disable the udev 
hook entirely.
+ 
+ If someone does specifically want this enabled, they'd need to also
+ manually enable apport and so forth, in addition to re-enabling this
+ udev rule.  But I think it'd probably be easier for these people to just
+ manually collect the gpu dump and dmesg directly, so don't expect anyone
+ to need the script.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ The issues have been strange corner case problems that seem to be highly 
hardware-specific, and not synthetically reproducible.
+ 1.  On affected hardware, boot into a regular user session normally
+ 
+ Expected Behavior:  No apport popups about GPU lockups
+ Broken Behavior:  Apport pops up dialog about a GPU lockup bug, when nothing 
of the sort had actually happened.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None really, as this is just disabling functionality we don't need enabled in 
the release.
+ 
+ The class of regressions to watch for with this would be udev-related
+ problems, or odd apport behaviors.  But I don't think anything untoward
+ is remotely likely to happen.
+ 
+ [Original Report]
  The problem started after the 12.04 upgrading process.
