  5 Y statement

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
