Bug Description
[Impact]
Installing the tools package for some kernels, like linux-tools-
[Test Case]
Install like linux-tools-
$ 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?
