As a bodge we are going to temporarily move the provides to the linux-meta package. This bug carries the SRU changes to switch the provides back to linux-image-* where they belong.

Applied the corrected fixes to linux and linux-meta for the first SRU cycle. These changes simply move the provides back to linux-image-*. Without them we would force the installation of the virtualbox client drivers even though they will never be used.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-wily' to 'verification-done-wily'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
