  * UBUNTU: Add HWE kernel meta packages

      We messed up when naming HWE meta packages in Precise. We should have
      made those package names unique per LTS release because we cannot
      now create a HWE meta package of the same name without also creating an
      upgrade path that a user probably does not want. For example, upgrading from
      12.04.[2-5] to 14.04 (after 14.04.2 is released) would upgrade to an HWE
      kernel instead of the 14.04 GA kernel as expected.

      Therefore, the HWE meta package name will be made unique by adding the name
      of the LTS release, e.g., linux-image-hwe-generic-trusty.

      Update to the next HWE kernel by changing HWE_KERNEL_NAME in debian/rules.

  * UBUNTU: Cleanup superfluous RELEASE_NAME logic
    Also correct Vcs-Git URL error.
