[Bug 1348227] Re: [HWE] should advise use of update-manager instead of apt-get

[Peter Matulis]

I went through the TEST CASE provided in the description of this bug and
confirmed that the use of update-manager is now advised:

$ apt-cache policy update-manager
update-manager:
  Installed: 1:0.156.14.17
  Candidate: 1:0.156.14.17
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.156.14.17 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ hwe-support-status --verbose

Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is going out of support
on 2014-08-07.  After this date security updates for critical parts (kernel
and graphics stack) of your system will no longer be available.

For more information, please see:
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL

There is a graphics stack installed on this system. An upgrade to a 
supported (or longer supported) configuration will become available
on 2014-07-16 and can be invoked by running 'update-manager' in the
Dash.

  TEST CASE:
  1. install precise desktop the hwe stack with all updates (e.g. linux-image-generic-lts-saucy)
  2. run hwe-support-status
  3. verify that you see something with apt-get 
  4. install update-manager from precise-proposed
  5. repeat 2
