Since this will just give black screen after upgrade on affected systems
I think this issue need to be highlighted in release notes, so people
who could be affected by this bug switch to open driver or postpone
upgrade to Wily until AMD release new fglrx.

Title:
FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2
Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
New
Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am
able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel
(4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and
using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working,
but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working
correctly).
