[Bug 1417608] Re: [MIR] ppc64-diag needed in minimal for hotplug capabilities

[Steve Langasek]

Package makes sense in main as a dependency of lsvpd, and as a component
of hardware support in its own right.  Meets the MIR requirements.
There is no upstream test suite.  The package ships three daemons for
hardware support , which will be enabled by default when installing the
package - but probably should not be (or should not be pulled in
automatically as a dependency) on systems without the relevant hardware.

Bug description:
  IBM has requested that ppc64-diag be installed by default to support
  hotplug features on ppc64el kit.  Packaging, security history, and
  upstream maintenance all seem fine, but I'd like a quick security
  review before we go about promoting it for them.

  NOTE: This MIR is meant to be retroactive all the way back to trusty,
  but if the conclusion of the review is that trusty's versions are
  unsupportable, we can backport whatever acceptable versions we end up
  with in wily back to trusty through vivid, so long as they meet
  general SRU/HWE criteria (which they generally have done up until
  now).
