Bug Description

[Impact]

The message appears as when running -hwe kernels (4.15) on Xenial.
This happens because makedumpfile defines a LATEST_VERSION kernel that "officially"
supports.
Currently, makedumpfile package for xenial has this version set to 4.14.8 and this is
why it shows this message with 4.15 kernels.

[Test Case]
TBD

[Regression Potential]
TBD

I just targeted this to Focal as the focal version of makedumpfile will not work with the focal hwe kernel.

Focal makedumpfile.h says:
 #define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(5, 4, 8) /* linux-5.4.8 */

linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 currently points to linux-meta-hwe-5.15.
