Bug Description

Upgrading from Jammy to Noble, we need the kernel metapackage to switch from the Jammy HWE one to linux-generic or similar. linux-generic Recommends ubuntu-kernel-accessories. It should get pulled in on upgrade. It's important to ensure that this works so it is the same as in a fresh installation, but I cannot test it because upgrades are currently disabled.

This may not be an issue. If it works as expected when upgrades are enabled then this bug should probably be Invalid. But if it doesn't, then we'll have some set of broken users for whom it'll be difficult to solve the problem later, so I thought that filing a bug might help with ensuring this is checked before upgrades are enabled.

I don't know if ubuntu-release-upgrader is an appropriate place to put this bug task. If something else is appropriate instead, please could you advise?
