Breno,

Another method to obtain exact kernel sources is to clone our git tree.
All of our development trees can be found here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git

Specifically the ubuntu-trusty tree can be found here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git;a=summary

So clone that tree and check the tag for the release:
	git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git
	git checkout Ubuntu-3.13.0-43.72

Hope that helps,
