The virtualbox changes look good to me:

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.
