Bug Description

The bionic gcp kernel has been bump up to 5.0.0, so the linux-modules-extra-gcp-edge is not needed anymore.

Some of our tests will try to install the linux-modules-extra-gcp* package as there is no way to know if we're running a gcp / gcp-edge kernel.

But when trying to install the linux-modules-extra-gcp-edge package from the proposed pocket, it complains that:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-modules-extra-gcp-edge : Depends: linux-modules-extra-5.0.0-1015-gcp but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This works before enabling -proposed pocket.
apt-cache search shows this package does not exist.

This will break the test (ubuntu_kernel_selftests) during the installation stage.

As sfeole mentioned that the gcp-edge kernel was not cranked.

This raise a concern for this linux-modules-extra-gcp-edge meta package. It should not point to a package that does not exist isn't it?

We are trying to install the meta package with linux-modules-extra-gcp* (works fine for several cycles), it's tripping this issue here as it brings in linux-modules-extra-gcp-edge.
