Verifying for precise.
I fully updated all the meta packages. And I also removed all the old meta packages.
I only kept a couple of old kernels around.
Then, the previous update-manager-core version produced an empty apt line,
while the newer one didn't.
Exact output:
# dpkg-query -W update-manager-core
update-manager-core 1:0.156.14.17
# hwe-support-status
Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is no longer supported
since 2014-08-07. Security updates for critical parts (kernel
and graphics stack) of your system are no longer available.
For more information, please see:
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL
To upgrade to a supported (or longer supported) configuration:
* Upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS by running:
sudo do-release-upgrade
OR
* Install a newer HWE version by running:
sudo apt-get install
and reboot your system.

Title:
empty apt-get install command suggested by hwe-support-status
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[Impact]
* Users who have leftover components of a HWE stack get a misleading message in /etc/motd
[Test Case]
* install 12.04 (any version) server
* install xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-saucy (or any random -lts-saucy non-meta package)
* run hwe-support-status
* verify that you get a message that contains:
"""Install a newer HWE version by running:
sudo apt-get install
"""
* install the updated version
* verify that you get a message with "The following packages are no longer supported:" and no longer a empty apt-get install message.
[Regression Potential]
* Little, it could report too much to remove but thats very unlikely.
---------------
hwe-support-status generates an empty apt-get command as can be seen in its output appended below. As the command doesn't really make sense I assume that this is not the expected behaviour.
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (mythbuntu)
Installed version of update-manager-core: 1:0.156.14.15
