[Bug 1956125] [NEW] wireless-tools is a required package for most desktop metapackages

[wontfix]

Public bug reported:

Many people and business not use or require wireless internet or
communication on many types of machines. They may actively not want
their business or institutional environment to have access to WiFi at
all where manual hardware removal is too much effort. Requiring these
packages significantly increases the effort required to ensure their
desires are enforced. For hobbyists or students using wired ARM or x86
boards, such requirements increase the footprint on sometimes small eMMC
or SD storage devices.

** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
