Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm the three packages mentioned are listed as not available in Ubuntu Trusty. I have also forwarded this bug to Debian and attached a bug watch. (Well, for two of the three packages at least. Memtest86 [1] is present in Debian, but for some reason not in Ubuntu)

Flames_in_Paradise: You're absolutely right, I've updated the title/description here. I find it interesting that when I forwarded the bug to Debian I've managed to put "suggests" in the description though still managed to write recommends in the title...

The suggestions for hwtools and kernel-patch-badram were removed in cpuburn which is available in Ubuntu Wily, see [1].

The suggestion for memtest86 remains though. As I mentioned, it is available in Debian so I don't think it would have been right to have removed it from the list there. I did find it in the Ubuntu sync blacklist [2], which means the package is not imported from Debian for some reason or another. Usually there's a helpful comment or reference to a bug number, but in this case it only says
"memtest86 # elmo, reason lost"

So two out of three have been dealt with, but I'm not sure what to do with the last one. It is possible this bug can be closed as fix released already, but we might want to look into whether we can find out what happened with memtest86.
