Looks like we're all set for these kernels:

zx2c4 at bionicman:~$ apt-cache show linux-image-* | grep -C5 "^Source: linux-meta" | grep -B10 "^Provides: .*wireguard-modules" | grep ^Package:
Package: linux-image-generic
Package: linux-image-aws

Package: linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04

But we are not all set for these kernels:

zx2c4 at bionicman:~$ comm -23 <(apt-cache show linux-image-* | grep -C5 "^Source: linux-meta" | grep ^Package: | sort | uniq) <(apt-cache show linux-image-* | grep -C5 "^Source: linux-meta" | grep -B10 "^Provides: .*wireguard-modules" | grep ^Package: | sort | uniq)

Package: linux-image-virtual-gkeop-5.0
Package: linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04
Package: linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04-edge

Appears that the "oem" kernel is part of the bad list.

I'll note that this is at least the third time Canonical has forgotten
the "Provides:" line for kernel packages. I'd highly recommend they
put some time into double checking their procedures.
