Precise linux[-image]-hwe-generic installs Quantal kernel, not Saucy

[Robert C Jennings]

The meta packages linux-hwe-generic and linux-image-hwe-generic cause the installation of the Quantal kernel in Precise rather than the latest linux[-image]-generic-lts-saucy.

I would expect the Saucy kernel to be installed at this point and I am depending on this working for bug #1275656 to make the instructions as streamline as possible.

Changing this bug to ask for HWE kernel meta to point to Saucy lts kernel. As I understand it from the LTS kernel support chart @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.Ubuntu_Kernel_Support the Trusty LTS kernel for Precise is in early preview until 12.04.5 in ~3 months.

If that's correct, I would still like these meta packages updated to point to the latest supported HWE kernel (saucy). Thanks.
