[Bug 1930914] Re: ubuntu-minimal depends on ubuntu-advantage-tools

[Bartłomiej Żogała]

So how would you like to identify and mark computers eligible for extended
support without user interaction ? And if user interaction is required why
can't  you use the same launch method for installing extended support ?
And why installing 2.6Mbyes of logic on _all_ ubuntu instead of simple
eligibility check script which would do further job only if required  ?
