Saucy kernel backport to Precise

[Zoltan Kiss]

I see. But there is no linux-image-generic-lts-saucy* metapackages at 
all at the moment, so I still have to check manually if they came out. 
Anyway, it's not a big trouble, I just hoped there is some automatic way 
to get the backported kernels. I would recommend to create a 
linux-image-generic-lts-latest metapackage in the lts repo, which can 
point to the latest backported kernel for that release.
