Bug Description

linux-generic-hwe-20.04 transitional to linux-generic does not exist in groovy, instead it still points at 5.4 kernel.

Please create transitional meta from linux-generic-hwe-20.04 to linux-generic.

Otherwise machines that installed Ubuntu Desktop focal, then upgrade to groovy, remain on v5.4 kernel, instead of getting v5.8 kernel.

Note that my groovy system was a fresh install. Not an upgrade. And it was still stuck on linux-generic-hwe-20.04 with no linux-generic installed.

The dependencies for linux-generic-hwe-20.04 have changed but this is not a transitional package. So is this fixed?
