[Bug 1690891] Re: Remove ureadahead and libnih

[cptX]

Guys in almost all of my laptops and pcs I have spinning disks and in ubuntu 18.04 where ureadahead was preinstalled I noticed that was actually doing a great job (had 20secs difference: 1min 17s boot time with ureadahead and 1min 37s without).
In ubuntu 20.04 is now removed. I don't understand this approach, if it really was doing a significant difference. Not all people have or want SSDs! How can I install it in Ubuntu 20.04 if there is no available package now? I think there should be the option to install it if somebody wants it!! the package should remain available!!

Title:
  Remove ureadahead and libnih

Status in libnih package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ureadahead package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ureadahead does not seem to be working at all these days - no profiles
  are being collected - and is the only thing left depending on libnih,
  so let's get rid of it, and then we can get rid of libnih as well.

  [Original report]
  Since on common platforms ureadahead solves nothing but causes a huge amount of garbage/totally useless error messages, which makes it really hard to extract the important messages from e.g. journalctl output,  it should be removed from ubuntu-minimal. If there are people, who need it, can still explicitly install it.
