Title:
  `linux-generic-lts-trusty` is not described as a metapackage

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The `linux-generic-lts-trusty` package is not described as a
  metapackage by `dpkg` or `apt-cache`, thus the output of `dpkg -l`
  (which just describes both `linux-generic-lts-trusty` and `linux-
  image-generic-lts-trusty` as containing kernel images) isn't great at
  describing that they are not simply one and the same.

  I'm running 12.04, trying to install the 14.04 HWE (linux-generic-lts-
  trusty v3.13.0.34.30).

  I asked about this on ubuntu-users, and was asked to file a bug.

  Andrew
