Bug Description

Per: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL#A1._Install_12.04.5_HWE_.28Trusty_kernel.2BAC8-graphics.29, starting with Ubuntu 12.04.4 (as reported by `lsb_release -d`) I run `hwe-support-status` and it tells me to:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty

I do this, then reboot, yet it still says:

(matt@case) ~$ lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

Not the 12.04.5 which I expect.

Further, per the chart in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL#FAQ, I should be running the trusty graphics stack as well, yet none of that was listed in the apt-get install line. Verifying this:

(matt@case) ~$ dpkg -l | grep trusty
ii linux-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.32.28 Generic Linux kernel image and headers
ii linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.32.28 Generic Linux kernel headers
ii linux-image-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.32.28 Generic Linux kernel image

None of the trusty xorg packages are installed.

I believe that the commands generated by hwe-support-status are incomplete to accomplish its stated goal.

I've forward ported the HWE support status code to Yakkety, so I'm setting this to Fix Released.
