So I think the advice now should be to install one of those metapackages rather than the current advice to install specific hypervisor and linux-image packages. This will facilitate future upgrades. Can your bugs, #606589 and merged #606590, also be closed due to the addition of the metapackages and/or this advice to the release notes? BTW, why do we refer users to the wiki instead of including the advice inline in the release notes? Is that just the way the release notes are normally written?
