[Bug 1244438] Re: EOL notification system required for HWE kernels in LTSs
A root email isn't enough for desktop users.
I believe at the last sprint we had discussed having update manager
inform the user, and to have the kernel available as an update in
update-manager but unchecked by default, so the user needs to opt-in to
it.
** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
We need to have some mechanism to allow us to record that you have an
EOL kernel installed which will no longer recieve updates.
For example for the kernel when a kernel is going EOL the last upload
should include an appropriate file:
/var/lib/update-notifier/kernel-eol
We need to coordinate this with the notifier itself to ensure it is
displayed.
