[Bug 1733353] [NEW] [SRU] Please accept hibagent to Xenial and Trusty

[Balint Reczey]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

The package is new to the releases and adds EC2 instances ability to
hibernate on an external trigger.

[Test Case]

Perform piuparts-like tests with the package and make sure that hibagent
service is not started upon the first install or upgrade. Only running
the shipped enable-ec2-spot-hibernation command should enable the
service and it should be kept enabled during package updates.

The package needs kernel support and on generic systems the service
tries to start but fail with error.

[Regression Potential]

Since the package is new it may not cause regressions by being broken
but it should not be enabled by default. Accidentally having it enabled
would be considered a regression because it would allow triggering
hibernation on a system remotely.

** Affects: hibagent (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => hibagent (Ubuntu)
