Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Installing the tools package for some kernels, like linux-tools-
  generic-hwe-18.04, does not install linux-tools-common because of a
  missing dependency. This results in missing /usr/bin/* wrapper scripts
  that call the version dependent binaries (like cpupower).

  [Test Case]

  Install like linux-tools-generic-hwe-18.04 on bionic and:
  $ cpupower
  cpupower: command not found

  
  [Fix]

  Add linux-tools-common as a dependency.

  
  [Regression Potential]

  The fix results in an additional package being installed. If something
  goes wrong this would manifest itself as a package installation error.

  
  [Original Description]

  While running kernel 5.4.0-64 today on bionic I noticed that Canonical
  kernel team does not provide a linux-hwe-5.4-tools package.  Is that a
  deliberate choice?  If so, would you please share the reason?
