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

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
