Bug Description

I had linux-generic lts-wily (and linux-generic-lts-vivid) installed. After the upgrade with 'do-release-upgrade -d' the old kernel was still in use. I had expected to get the linux-generic package installed for the new xenial kernel.

This bug was fixed in the package linux-meta - 4.4.0.6.7

---------------
linux-meta (4.4.0.6.7) xenial; urgency=low

  * Drop linux-cloud-tools-virtual for ppc64el and s390x as we actually
    do not generate those currently.

linux-meta (4.4.0.6.6) xenial; urgency=low

  * virtual: add linux-tools-virtual, linux-cloud-tools-virtual, and
    linux-image-extra-virtual linkage for ppc64el and s390x.
  * transitional packages: drop updates for transitional which were
    uninstallable in Trusty and have no candidates in Xenial.

linux-meta (4.4.0.6.5) xenial; urgency=low

  [ Andy Whitcroft ]
  * Add 14.04 to 16.04 transitional packages (LP: #1526931):
   - add packages for the HWE auto upgrade packages.
   - add packages for all of the lts backport packages.

  [ Tim Gardner ]
  * linux ABI 4.4.0-6

linux-meta (4.4.0.5.4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * * linux ABI 4.4.0-5
