If you try to satisfy its requirement by installing the linux-headers-lowlatency and linux-headers-3.2.0-82-lowlatency along with linux-lowlatency, it will complain about:
    linux-headers-3.2.0-82-lowlatency : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-82 but it is not installable

If you try to install the linux-headers-3.2.0-82 package as well, it will fail with:
    Package linux-headers-3.2.0-82 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package 'linux-headers-3.2.0-82' has no installation candidate

This is a very old version, present in precise-updates, not the ESM repo. I don't see us producing lowlatency kernels or meta packages on ESM. Was that a different source package that produced those lowlatency packages?

It looks to me this is not a regression, or even a problem at all. It should not be a blocker.

Confirmed this is a different source package on precise.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

If we're not producing lowlatency kernel for ESM, then this won't be a blocker.

We just need to disable lowlatency kernel SRU testing on it.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Precise is no longer an ESM kernel, closing this bug.
