[Bug 1686183] Re: Ship ubuntu-advantage in ubuntu-minimal

[Nish Aravamudan]

This is bit of a funky SRU (IMO). It seems like we want version 2 (from
the linked repository) in all releases > 12.04. However, given that is
not yet present in any release != 12.04, I'm not sure we need to worry
about the exact version (that is, they can all be 2?).

My immediate feedback is the debian/changelog from the linked repo
should be for artful, not precise. Then that can be backported (I think)
to all releases != 12.04. If this already existed, it seems like it
would say "trusty" and then have been copied forward.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
  maintenance script with a simple command line tool.  This script needs
  to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
  enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.

  [Test Case]

   * Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
   * Run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable <token> (without sudo it will warn you), but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that token.  In the end, the script simply adds and removes an /etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
   * you can contact me (dpb at canonical.com) if you would like a token for test purposes.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
  paths.
