exist
vs.
try:
supported_kernel = apport.packaging.is_distro_package(kernel_package)
except ValueError as e:

Bug description:
The apport package hook for dkms packages seems to have an error in
its supported kernel check. If the kernel is an unsupported one, the
hook should exit with a return code of 1. However, in the Ubuntu
Error Tracker we can see some crashes with unsupported kernel versions
e.g.:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency
If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's
do that.
