It feels very much like the first patch here adds a set of meta packages
with -trusty hardwired into them, and the second a set which are
configurable, but have trusty in them and overlap the first?

  +#
  +# Reference the current Hardware Enablement LTS generic and virtual kernel flavours.
  +Package: linux-image-hwe-generic-trusty

and:

  +#
  +# Reference the current Hardware Enablement LTS generic and virtual kernel flavours.
  +#
  +Package: linux-image-hwe-generic-RELEASE_NAME
[...]
  -RELEASE_NAME=saucy
  +RELEASE_NAME=trusty

Confused?
