Title:
  update-notifier-common pulls in ubuntu-drivers-common including on
  server where it is not required

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Description ]

  update-notifier 3.192.37 (https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /update-notifier/commit/?id=f766bda4ab5032a5af84311fabd2e6d9e56b3254)
  added a dependency on ubuntu-drivers-common, which causes ubuntu-
  server to bloat, for example by pulling in alsa-utils.

  [ Fix ]

  Move the dependency to update-notifier, which contains /usr/bin
  /update-notifier and also the dependency on update-manager, which is
  launched after we run the script which uses ubuntu-drivers-common.

  [ QA ]

  1. Make sure ubuntu-drivers-common isn't on the referenced server image.
  2. Make sure it is still on images where update-notifier is installed.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  If we lose the dependency, then update-manager will not be able to
  auto launch, since we require it to be available to run a script
  before auto launching.

  [ Original description ]

  I don't know if there's an easy solution to this, or if we just need
  to live with it. If the latter, this bug can be Won't Fix'd.
