[Bug 1930914] Re: ubuntu-minimal depends on ubuntu-advantage-tools

[Jeremy Bicha]

We are prioritizing people being able to easily activate Ubuntu
Advantage/Ubuntu Pro more than people who worry about 2.6 MB. People who
activate Ubuntu Advantage are generally paying customers. Those paying
customers make Ubuntu better for all of us by helping to fund a lot of
the work done in Ubuntu.

Respectfully, I don't think there's any benefit to me continuing to
explain why we made this decision.
