Wearing my ~ubuntu-server hat, I didn't understand why we were seeding
this, so I did some archaeology.

It looks like it was originally seeded in http://bazaar.launchpad.net
/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.zesty/revision/400 for desktop
purposes into the generic "supported" seed, and then moved during a
restructure in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-
seeds/platform.zesty/revision/1171 to the supported-misc-servers seed
where it currently resides. I think this was done in error and should
have been moved to a desktop seed.

But desktop don't have it installed by default. It's also far less
relevant nowadays so it probably does make sense to drop it, but I don't
want to pre-empt ~ubuntu-desktop in making that decision.

Note that mdbtools-gmdb is also seeded in supported-sysadmin-desktop.
Presumably both can be dropped.

So no objection from ~ubuntu-server.

Dustin, subscribing you FYI, but given that we were seeding this in
error, I presume it's fine from a ~canonical-server perspective.
