[Bug 1492262] [NEW] maas-enlist-udeb fails enlistment because of missing curl

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Public bug reported:

Looks like maas-enlist-udeb (the maas-enlist function for d-i, which
gets run when one selects the ubuntu-server ISO menu option "Multiple
server install using MAAS", has been failing at least since Trusty.

Attached are screenshots and logs for attempting a provisioning via
MAAS, but the enlist step fails: curl is not found, even though the
curl-udeb package is installed.

The system would normally silently fail to enlist and logs be somewhat
hard to get since maas-enlist-udeb.postinst forces a shutdown at its
end, regardless of the result of running /usr/bin/maas-enlist. The
postinst file was modified to remove the shutdown in order to get the
logs.
