Public bug reported:

See Bug #889171 for the history, but basically, the security team
prefers this to not ship by default as it's a security sensitive
component that most users don't need.  Users should be prompted to
install it when they need it.

NOTE: this only requires a seed change, but this bug is open for
tracking a change to a stable release
