Title:
  Add PRIVACY_POLICY_URL to /etc/os-release

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The /etc/os-release standard includes a PRIVACY_POLICY_URL field.

  Ubuntu should implement this and set it to:

  http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy

  This field is actually used by the GNOME Settings app (gnome-control-
  center) although we need a few other pieces for it to be shown to
  users. (See bug 1614820 if you're curious about that).

  Patch attached.
