[Bug 1686183] Re: Ship ubuntu-advantage in ubuntu-minimal

[Steve Langasek]

discussed the above error with the team:
- non-x86 multiarch is a quite minor use case on precise
- it is not clear that esm.ubuntu.com is intended to be x86-only, or that it will remain so indefinitely

So we will not limit the sources.list.d entry by architecture, which
could do more harm than good, and so I'm considering this verified.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
  maintenance script with a simple command line tool.  This script needs
  to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
  enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.

  [Test Case]

   * Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
   * Run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable <token> (without sudo it will warn you), but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that token.  In the end, the script simply adds and removes an /etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
   * you can contact me (dpb at canonical.com) if you would like a token for test purposes.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
  paths.
