Public bug reported:
Rationale: until recently, the only consumer of the linux-manta packages
was the android package - although not through explicit build-depends,
as the package was downloading linux-manta manually during package
build. We removed support for building device bits for manta in the
android package recently, so there is no official use for this package.
We are also officially dropping support for manta in system-image. This
ubuntu-touch device was unsupported with no one working on it since at
least half a year.
We would like to request the removal of this package to get some burden
off the kernel team. Doesn't make sense for them to waste cycles with
security fixes for a kernel that's not used in Ubuntu. The reverse-
depends show no reverse dependencies.
