This change, which can be found in the linked bzr branch, made it into
Precise although the changelog entry referencing this bug managed to
disappear.  Subsequently, I'm setting the status of the task to Fix
Released.

Title:
  hwe-support-status does not output all necessary commands for upgrade

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in update-manager source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

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 at 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 at 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.
