Title:
  linux-generic should depend on linux-base >=4.1

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  we run a automated pipeline which automatically installs ubuntu 16.04
  by pxe / netinstall.

  This pipeline stopped working tonight, so I did some research.

  Looks like linux-generic depends on linux-base, but requires a
  tool/script which was added in 4.1 (linux-update-symlinks).

  packages.ubuntu.com only shows linux-base 4.5, but if I take a look
  into the packages.gz of <mirror>/ubuntu/ there is still a 4.0
  available.

  So somehow(tm) it seems netinstall is installing the 4.0 version of
  linux-base instead of the required 4.5 (4.1+).

  In my opinion if a pkg needs a feature which is only available in a
  newer version of a pkg, this pkg should be a depend, so linux-generic
  should depend on linux-base >= 4.1 instead of just depend on linux-
  base.

  I workarounded the problem by installing the hwe-kernel which has a
  correct dependency on linux-base 4.5.
