[Bug 1630946] Re: ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid

[Scott Moser]

@Christian,

Well, the intended goal is that ubuntu-server == cloud-image.

we did fairly significant work to get as close as we are.
Currently cloud-image [1] differs from ubuntu-server [2] only by
presense of cloud-init and openssh-server.
The goal was to ultimately drop those also, and cloud-init is actually
in a place where we *could* put it into ubuntu-server by default.
openssh-server mentions bug 1576351 as its reason for being left out.

I don't think we should lose ground on the goal.

Title:
  ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ubuntu-server has a hard dependency on open-iscsi, which means there
  is a daemon running (iscsid), and the package cannot be removed. All
  unnecessary daemons are a cause of concern when auditing a system.

  Propose moving this to "Recommends" instead, which currently has:
