Public bug reported:
I have a test script that requires /usr/bin/cpupower. Before calling it,
I 'apt install linux-tools-$(uname -r)' to make sure it is available.
For GA kernels, this works fine as there is a dependency chain on linux-
tools-common which provides them. For HWE (tested on bionic), this does
not work because linux-tools-5.4.0-48-generic doesn't depend on linux-
tools-common. There is a linux-hwe-5.4-tools-common package, but it is
empty, and also not a dependency of linux-tools-5.4.0-48-generic.
