[Bug 1358505] Re: Need Ubuntu to preinstall ppc64-diag and other basic packages

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

Hi Canonical / Adam,

This is an issue for ppc64el guests too, as it impacts disk hotplug
(internal bug reports).

Fortunately, just installing ppc64-diag will bring in other required
packages for this functionality (powerpc-ibm-utils and librtas  pieces).

> [...] we need to look into where and how best to fit that in for
systems where it should be installed.

Any news, or something that we could do?
Is a problem the package being in the 'universe' component (vs. neither 'main' nor 'restricted')? 
... or is it more of where to add its install trigger?

Thanks!
