Public bug reported:

The meta packages linux-hwe-generic and linux-image-hwe-generic cause
the installation of the Quantal kernel in Precise rather than the latest
linux[-image]-generic-lts-trusty.

I would expect the Trusty kernel to be installed at this point and I am
depending on this working for bug #1275656 to make the instructions as
streamline as possible.
