virtualbox-guest-utils-lts-vivid recommends the following:

Recommends: virtualbox-guest-dkms-lts-vivid (=
4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1~14.04.4) |
virtualbox-guest-source-lts-vivid (=
4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1~14.04.4) |
virtualbox-guest-modules-lts-vivid, virtualbox-guest-x11-lts-vivid (=
4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1~14.04.4)

So that should do it.

Bug description:
  Test Case (for update-notifier)
  -------------------------------
  1) Install an End of Life HWE stack (utopic/vivid/wily)
  2) Install the version of update-notifier and update-manager from Trusty -proposed
  3) Force an motd update via 'sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-hwe-eol'
  4) Observe a message regarding your HWE stack being End of Life.
  5) ssh localhost - confirm same HWE EoL message appears

  
  Right now hwe-support-status is only in 12.04.  14.04 users might want that information for their release as well.

  Alternatively the functionality could be merged into ubuntu-support-
  status.
