Bug Description

The -server metapackages have all been renamed to -generic-pae on i386. However, lots of people will still have -server installed, and I assume we want to move them over to -generic-pae. The usual way to do this would be to continue to ship trivial -server metapackages that just depend on -generic-pae, until the next LTS. Shouldn't we do this?

Sounds like we need transitional packages for i386 for the -server variants.

@pitti -- thanks, have fixed the original source so we don't do it again.
