Title:
  smartmontools should be installed on a default system

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openSUSE:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is a wish:

  On a competing proprietary OS, a default installation exploits
  S.M.A.R.T capabilities of disks to ensure stable disk-usage. I think
  to fix bug 1, it is necessary to have smartmontools to be installed
  and activated on default installations (both desktop/laptop and server
  variants).

  Before I switched to ubuntu I succeeding in convincing the SuSE people
  to have that package installed and activated on a default system, see
  https://bugzilla.novell.com:443/show_bug.cgi?id=201715, further see
  bug 103681 regarding default activation.
