Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  Reproduction Steps (works on Live CD, check that linux-generic is installed before testing):
  1.  Open software-properties-gtk, in the drivers tab install nvidia-352 driver. (It is possible to fake the hardware via /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/fake-devices-wrapper software-properties-gtk.)
  2.  tail /var/log/apt/history.log and note that it also removed the linux-generic package.
  3.  Run sudo apt-get upgrade and note that it now mentions that that linux-headers/image-generic are auto-removable.

  With the version of the package from -proposed the linux-generic
  package will no longer be removed by software-properties.
