Damn ubuntu.

[Brian Cluff]

That's very odd that package wasn't on your system already.  It's 
automatically installed with the linux-image-generic package, and that 
should have been installed when you loaded the system.  Without that 
package your system won't receive kernel updates automatically.

Did you by chance remove any packages right after the initial install. 
My guess is that you might have removed a package that in turn caused a 
dependency package such as linux-image-generic to be removed.
That might have cause linux-image-extras-3.11.0-15-generic to be marked 
as "no longer needed" and it may have also been uninstalled.
