[Bug 1420217] Re: HWE meta packages "linux-signed-generic"/"linux-signed-image-generic" not considered

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

I'm verifying that it works for Precise.

Steps I did:
I downloaded http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso. This has linux-signed-generic-lts-saucy installed.
I updated to the latest update-manager version in -updates:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install update-manager update-manage-core
# dpkg-query -W update-manager
update-manager    1:0.156.14.17

I verified that `hwe-support-status --show-replacements` doesn't show the signed kernel:
# hwe-support-status --show-replacements
linux-generic-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty

Then I enabled precise-proposed, and installed update-manager 1:0.156.14.18, the one being SRU'ed here. At that point, --show-replacements showed the signed kernel:
# hwe-support-status --show-replacements
linux-generic-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty linux-signed-generic-lts-trusty linux-signed-image-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty
