Changing this bug to ask for HWE kernel meta to point to Saucy lts
kernel.  As I understand it from the LTS kernel support chart @
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.Ubuntu_Kernel_Support
the Trusty LTS kernel for Precise is in early preview until 12.04.5 in
~3 months.

If that's correct, I would still like these meta packages updated to
point to the latest supported HWE kernel (saucy).  Thanks.

** Description changed:

  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.
+ linux[-image]-generic-lts-saucy.
  
  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.
