Public bug reported:

Linux 14.04.6 LTS with HWE stack.

Am on 4.4.0-142, did a dist-update and 3.13.0-167 gets pulled in e.g.

# sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial Reading package lists...

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

apt-cache policy linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial shows dependency on
linux-generic instead of linux-generic-lts-xenial.

What I expected to happen is that the 3.x kernel bits wouldn't be
installed.

This may also be why building VirtualBox DKMS module is broken:

Processing triggers for linux-image-4.4.0-143-generic (4.4.0-143.169~14.04.2) 
...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.0-143-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.3.36/build/make.log for more information.
