Title:
  smart-notifier installs, but has missing requirments

Status in smart-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in smart-notifier source package in Focal:
  In Progress
Status in smart-notifier source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In the focal build of smart-notifier, the important files were not
  installed, and the resulting binary is useless. A backport as an SRU
  of the groovy version fixes the issue.

  [Test Case]

  Run the command:

  ls /usr/share/smart-notifier -1

  When fixed, it should output:

  smart-notifier
  smart_notifier
  smart_notifier-0.28.egg-info

  [Regression Potential]

  Low... (It cannot be more useless than it currently is.)

  [More details]

  I installed this in a fresh install of Xubuntu 20.04.1 and, while it
  installs, the file to which it links:

  /usr/bin/smart-notifier -> ../share/smart-notifier/smart-notifier

  does not exist, so it does not function at all!
