cascardo asked me to sponsor his upload to xenial-proposed. I've compare
the build logs between the 4.0ubuntu1 version currently in xenial to the
build logs from his 4.5ubuntu1~16.04.1 change. The build logs are clean
with no surprises. I also compared the binary packages and was able to
confirm his assertion that the perf bash completion file is not
distributed.
Outside of the added linux-update-symlinks and linux-check-removal
commands which motivate this upload, there's only one other notable code
change:
* Add image_stem() and read_kernelimg_conf() functions to Perl module
Those two new functions are only used by the new linux-update-symlinks
command.
I think this is safe to SRU to Xenial and, therefore, have sponsored the
upload.

Title:
update linux-base on xenial
Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux-base source package in Xenial:
New
Bug description:
[Impact]
After some changes on linux package on bionic, linux-azure-edge and
linux-hwe-edge, which are based on that package, now require a linux-
base that provides linux-update-symlinks and linux-check-removal.
Using the latest version also means translations will be present.
[Test Case]
Installing the latest linux-azure-edge will fail the config stage
because maintainer scripts call into non-existing linux-update-
symlinks and linux-check-removal.
Test result: It works with xenial kernels and fixes the problem with
hwe-edge.
[Regression Potential]
New functions on perl module are tested during build time. It could
break symlinks creation for other kernels. perf bash completion is not
distributed, so does not conflict with linux-tools-common. Older
kernels still have their links working.
