[Bug 1615143] Re: [SRU] update python-petname and golang-petname libraries in xenial

[Dustin Kirkland ]

** Description changed:

  Please backport/update/SRU the golang-petname and python-petname
  packages in Xenial to the new ones from Yakety.  These are needed for
  the MAAS 2.0 and LXD 2.0 builds.  The new model uses much simpler, more
  pronouncable and memorable names -- a critical complaint of current MAAS
  and LXD randomly generated names.
  
  Note that this update is 100% API compatible.
+ 
+ == SRU ==
+ 
+ [Impact] 
+ The impact of this bug is that MAAS and LXD generally produce really complicated, unpronouceable random names, like:
+  - polyvinylidene-latesha
+  - quarantinable-ayesha
+  - troglodytical-flor
+ 
+ The new petname methodology uses animals, has been meticulously curated, and undergoes a thorough series of quality tests.  New petnames look like this:
+  - suited-mallard
+  - pure-ringtail
+  - calm-shark
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ To test this, you can install the new golang-petname, python-petname, and python3-petname packages and simply run:
+  $ golang-petname
+  novel-muskox
+  $ python-petname
+  giving-shrew
+  $ python3-petname
+  new-mole
+ 
+ Each of these build against the library (golang, python3) that MAAS and LXD use.
+  
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Minimal.  The only difference in behavior is that the new methodology
+ produces far fewer unique combinations (~200K vs. ~200M).  I've already
+ discussed this with the MAAS and LXD maintainers.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ None.
