Title:
  Mainline Kernel repo does not use https

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Mainline kernels are provided at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa

  This is very convenient, especially if one has the latest hardware for
  which older kernels often do not have hardware support.

  However https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa does not work. I do not
  have a great feeling installing something as crucial as a kernel
  without trusting the source.

  Of course one could in theory try to reproduce the build by compiling
  from source, but in practice this is hardly a viable solutions.

  Proposed solution: Enable https with a trusted certificate for
  https://kernel.ubuntu.com
