universe description incorrectly suggests software may be non-free

[Dan Watkins]

[Impact]
This is written in /etc/apt/sources.list in every new install.

[Test case]
1) cat /etc/apt/sources.list

[Regression potential]
None

The comment above the universe section of sources.list in both desktop and server installs of xenial is the same as that for multiverse:

## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to
## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in
## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security
## team.

This changed between wily and xenial (with the upload of 1:0.104ubuntu1); previously, it correctly read:

## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.

This old comment should be restored.

This bug was fixed in the package apt-setup - 1:0.104ubuntu5

---------------
apt-setup (1:0.104ubuntu5) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * generators/50mirror.ubuntu: universe incorrectly mentions some software
    being unfree, which is not true. Remove that mention from the notice we
    write to sources.list. Patch from Dan Watkins. (LP: #1590358)

Verified that this is working after an install of Ubuntu from mini.iso on amd64; marking verification-done.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for apt-setup has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.21.63.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done.

Verification done, the sources.list shows the right description now after install using ubiquity.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.21.63.3

---------------
ubiquity (2.21.63.3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * ubi-prepare.py: default to disabling Secure Boot when third party drivers
    are being installed, since it's most likely what people will want. This
    will also avoid people skipping through this important part of the
    installer without noticing, only to find their systems not all working
    correctly. (LP: #1606393)
  * d-i/sources.list: add xenial-updates to sources.list to pick up any SRUs
    of d-i components that are no longer in flight.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.104ubuntu4.1, base-installer 1.158ubuntu2.1, netcfg
    1.135ubuntu4.1. (LP: #1590358)
  * bin/ubiquity-dm: wait for the DBus signals telling us that xsettings are
    ready before continuing with preparing ubiquity-dm; this avoids starting
    too quickly and incorrectly applying scale ratios for HiDPI screens.
    (LP: #1560162)
