[ale] Ubuntu 15.10

[DJ-Pfulio]

15.04 support ends in 2 months.
15.10 support ends in June.

Non-LTS releases aren't worth my time.

Also, not all 14.04.x releases get the 5 years of support.  Only 14.04.1
does.

Moral: Be careful about doing a dist-upgrade on an LTS install if you
want 5 yrs of support.
