Note that the impact here is that apt will not want to install the
metapackage until you remove flash-kernel. Though the user can
workaround this by removing flash-kernel, apt doesn't give any hints
about that until you dig deeper:
root@pearl:~# apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
