LTS Backports Maverick EOL

[Andy Whitcroft]

As Maverick is now officially EOL we will no longer be producing further
kernel updates for that release.  This wil orphan any consumers of the
LTS Backport Maverick kernel for Lucid.  The security team is recommending
we migrate them to a later LTS backport kernel.  I tend to agree it does
not seem appropriate to just leave them silently with no further updates.
This leaves the question as to where they should be migrated to.  Any jump
to a later kernel is going to be risky.

If we are going to jump them to a later LTS backport with the inherant
risks it likely makes sense to jump them to the latest LTS backport that
exists for their release to gain them the maximum support and prevent
us having to do the same again in six months when the following backport
drops from support too.

I have a patch in my tree to jump them forward assuming we agree on
where they should go.  I propose Oneiric.

Comments?
