[Bug 1577833] Re: Support statement for packages within Ubuntu 16.04 LTS should have the 5 Y statement

[Robie Basak]

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted hw-detect into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw-
detect/1.117ubuntu2.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: hw-detect (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Default install of Ubuntu server, should not install universe
  packages, specifically discover

  [Test Case]

   * Use d-i installer, to perform a server-like install

   * Check that there are no universe packages installed by default

   * Specifically check that discover package is not installed

  [Regression Potential]

   * discover appears to be a useless package which does not enable any
  extra hardware at either install, or post-boot time. Less disk space
  is used, as well as less time, and non-supported package is not
  installed unconditionally onto the target systems.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report

  We detected following information

  Manuell Installation in Standard-Mode (not Expert Mode)with following
  selection: standard system utilities, OpenSSH server, Basic Ubuntu
  server for s390-tools:

  Following information are provided by the ubuntu-support-status tool.

  Supported until January 2017 (9m):
  libpfm4 s390-tools sysconfig-hardware

  Supported until April 2019 (3y):
  discover discover-data libdiscover2

  The assumption is, the 16.04 LTS will have 5 year support for each
  package within release/main
