Bug Description
Currently (and since always AFAIK) the ethtool package is not installed by default in Ubuntu on PowerPC.
This is a very important tool for network configuration, troubleshooting and performance report/tunning.
We would like to discuss the possibility to include it by default in the very basic/small Ubuntu installation - it might be really important if for some reason a boot happens to be without network, for example, since by using ethtool user might fix the issue (or at least investigate and collect necessary logs).
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme

Hi,
according to [1] and [2] it should be seeded already. Maybe there is an arch dependent twist to the seeding that I fail to see yet.
Also I spawned a new (cloudimg basesd) kvm guest and it had ethtool right away as I expected.
You can see it is seeded since it has no rdepends bringin it in.
ubuntu@z-test:~$ dpkg -l '*ethtool*'
ii ethtool 1:4.8-1 ppc64el
$ apt-cache rdepends --installed ethtool
ethtool
Reverse Depends:
Maybe I'm overlooking something, could you outline on which install from which image and which version exactly that you miss ethtool?
