[Bug 1550254] [NEW] [Xenial] openvswitch-switch installs dpdk on upgrade

[Stefan Bader]

Public bug reported:

Not really a bug but could potentially confuse upgraders. After DPDK is in main, openvswitch-switch itself now (most recent upload) includes both binaries. So for someone who did not have explicitly installed the openvswitch-switch-dpdk package (supposed to be removed) in  the past it may look like the DPDK variant suddenly gets activated.
Not sure could be other impact, too. So this bug report probably is more to serve as a reminder to think about it...

** Affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu)
