Bug Description

Dear Release Team,

I would like to request a freeze exception for the following packages:

* linux-hammerhead
* linux-meta-hammerhead

Nexus 5 is not an official Ubuntu Touch target, but it is currently supported by the touch community (they are now providing images, builds and so on).

This request is to include the kernel package for it, so we can produce Nexus 5 images without the need of a PPA. This kernel contains the same sauce used by the other touch kernel packages (mako, manta, flo, etc).

The impact to the distribution should be of very low risk.

It could probably be included as part of bug 1208989, but doing a new FFe because this is a new package.

The full change log and src package can be found at https://launchpad.net/~rsalveti/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=trusty

Assuming this passes AA review (ie: no sketchy copyright/license issues compared to the other Nexus kernels already in the archive), I'm fine with this landing in trusty. It should be built against the same orig tarball as the other 3.4.0 Android kernels, so it's easier to review the delta between them all.
