** Description changed:

  linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04
  linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04
  linux-generic-hwe-20.04
  
  Are all listed as standalone updates in update manager, instead they
  should be grouped under Ubuntu Base.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * When running update-manager, hwe kernel packages and some other
+    kernel packages were not appearing under Ubuntu Base as they should
+ 
+  * This was causing the section "Other Updates" to appear cluttered
+ 
+  * Backporting to stable releases because of the visual impact to users
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * If no updates for kernel related packages are available, downgrade some 
+    kernel related packages such as the hwe packages listed in this bug
+    report
+ 
+  * Run update-manager and observe that the kernel packages are not
+    grouped under Ubuntu Base
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * Packages that don't belong under Ubuntu Base could be grouped under 
+    Ubuntu Base if the new regex is too generic.
+ 
+  * Packages that do belong under Ubuntu Base could be missed if the regex
+    does not account for them
+ 
+ [Other info]
+ 
+  * In the future it would be best if new packages do not begin with the
+    string "linux-" unless they are related to the kernel. This will
+    prevent these packages from being accidentally grouped under
+    Ubuntu Base
+ 
+  * Currently there are a few "linux-*" packages that do not belong under
+    Ubuntu Base, such as linux-show-player and linux-sound-base.
