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

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Some additional information:
If I remove the update-manager package, then hwe-support-status 1:0.156.14.18 gives an apt-get line without requiring the "--show-replacements" parameter. The exact output is:

Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is no longer supported
since 2014-08-07.  Security updates for critical parts (kernel
and graphics stack) of your system are no longer available.
For more information, please see:
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL
To upgrade to a supported (or longer supported) configuration:
* Upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS by running:
sudo do-release-upgrade 
OR
* Install a newer HWE version by running:
sudo apt-get install 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
and reboot your system.

...while with 1:0.156.14.17 it doesn't mention the signed packages:
* Install a newer HWE version by running:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty
