Title:
  20.04.5 (20220829.1 build) has kernel 5.13 packages

Status in linux-restricted-modules-hwe-5.15 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Linux-restricted-modules for the 390 drivers were disabled
  temporarily back in January, however they were not re-enabled when
  support for the new kernel was added.

   * Including the 390 release in the ISO causes the 5.13 packages to be
  pulled in.

  [Test Plan]

   * Install the hwe-515 kernel and make sure that the NVIDIA 390 driver
  can be installed with its linux-restricted-modules.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * The addition of modules for an already existing driver series would not
     cause any regressions, since the whole package generation process is automated, and this is the only commit that we are going to revert:

  [Other Info]

   * Other kernel releases support the 390 series.

  Examining the .list file for the amd64 image it contains various
  kernel 5.13 .deb packages.

  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/focal/daily-live/20220829.1/focal-desktop-
  amd64.list

  e.g.

  /pool/main/l/linux-hwe-5.13/linux-modules-5.13.0-52-generic_5.13.0-52.59~20.04.1_amd64.deb
  /pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-515/libnvidia-common-515_515.65.01-0ubuntu0.20.04.1_all.deb
  /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-hwe-5.13/linux-objects-nvidia-390-5.13.0-52-generic_5.13.0-52.59~20.04.1+1_amd64.deb
  /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-hwe-5.13/linux-modules-nvidia-390-generic-hwe-20.04_5.13.0-52.59~20.04.1+1_amd64.deb
  /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-hwe-5.13/linux-modules-nvidia-390-5.13.0-52-generic_5.13.0-52.59~20.04.1+1_amd64.deb

  This is a little unexpected given that 5.15 is the default kernel.

  Possibly nvidia-390 doesn't have 5.15 packages?

  This impacts all flavours as well that include nvidia stuff in their
  ISO - so if the solution is to change the meta file for a revised
  regexp for nvidia then all flavours that include nvidia will likewise
  need their meta packages updated.
