[Bug 1721272] Re: [FFe] Create 'ua' symlink pointing at 'ubuntu-advantage'

[Andreas Hasenack]

** Summary changed:

- [FFe] Main script should be called 'advantage'
+ [FFe] Create 'ua' symlink pointing at 'ubuntu-advantage'

** Description changed:

  High level changes
  ==================
- Mark S. requested that the main script in the package be called 'advantage'.
- 
- Symlinks for the binary and its manpage are provided so that the old
- 'ubuntu-advantage' name  still works.
+ We want to add a short alias named 'ua' to the ubuntu-advantage script.
+ This can be easily accomplished by creating a 'ua' symlink pointing at the 'ubuntu-advantage' script. Likewise for its manpage.
  
  Documentation and tests were updated.
  
  Diff
  ====
  There was also a small text change in the FIPS output: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/commit/0e62b45c93fde61cbf6f7cdaa4c62638dac425bf
  
  There is no i18n for this package.
  
  Full diff of all changes on github: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/compare/v10...v11
  The above is a more sensible view of all changes as it takes into account the rename in a smart way, but a debdiff is also attached to this bug.
