Bug description:
Test Case
---------
Reproduction Steps (works on Live CD, check that linux-generic is installed
before testing):
1. Open software-properties-gtk, in the drivers tab install nvidia-352
driver. (It is possible to fake the hardware via
/usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/fake-devices-wrapper software-properties-gtk.)
2. tail /var/log/apt/history.log and note that it also removed the
linux-generic package.
3. Run sudo apt-get upgrade and note that it now mentions that that
linux-headers/image-generic are auto-removable.
With the version of the package from -proposed the linux-generic
package will no longer be removed by software-properties.
