Public bug reported:

The package descriptions of the various linux-image-*-lttng packages
(found in ppa.launchpad.net/lttng/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/)
conclude with:

"You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
the linux-lttng meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed."

The "linux-lttng meta-package" is non-existent; what is meant is
actually the "lttng meta-package".

Side issue:
When trying to file this bug, I used the package chooser to find 
"linux-image-2.6.38-10-lttng"...but the form then reports that:

"linux-image-2.6.38-10-lttng" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a
different package. If you're unsure, please select "I don't know"

Selecting "I don't know" initially didn't work either, leading to an
unspecified error. Turned out it was complaining about "http" appearing
in the bug description (now removed).
