Bug description:
  This isn't really a bug against ubiquity.

  It's just that on installs of Kubuntu 16.04, the package "cifs-utils"
  IS installed but it is borked.

  MAYBE I AM MISTAKEN AND IT IS JUST A VERSION DIFFERENCE.

  But after reinstalling, mount -t cifs works as normal, but before
  reinstalling, it requires full parameters.

  ie. after reinstall, it is sufficient to type : mount //host/share
  /mnt -t cifs -o username=bla

  before, it requires: IP, and password on options line. So although I
  cannot check now; it seems that there were files missing from that
  package that ought to be installed.
