[Bug 1630946] Re: ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid

[clickwir]

Would like to have the ability to cleanly remove iscsi related processes
from systems that don't need it.

Sitting there, it's not hard on resources, but I'm trying to shave off
anything I can.

Title:
  ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ubuntu-server has a hard dependency on open-iscsi, which means there
  is a daemon running (iscsid), and the package cannot be removed. All
  unnecessary daemons are a cause of concern when auditing a system.

  Propose moving this to "Recommends" instead, which currently has:

  Recommends: lxd, snapd
