Bug Description
[Impact]
* Default install of Ubuntu server, should not install universe packages, specifically discover
[Test Case]
* Use d-i installer, to perform a server-like install
* Check that there are no universe packages installed by default
* Specifically check that discover package is not installed
[Regression Potential]
* discover appears to be a useless package which does not enable any extra hardware at either install, or post-boot time. Less disk space is used, as well as less time, and non-supported package is not installed unconditionally onto the target systems.
[Other Info]
* Original bug report
We detected following information
Manuell Installation in Standard-Mode (not Expert Mode)with following selection: standard system utilities, OpenSSH server, Basic Ubuntu server for s390-tools:
Following information are provided by the ubuntu-
Supported until January 2017 (9m):
libpfm4 s390-tools sysconfig-hardware
Supported until April 2019 (3y):
discover discover-data libdiscover2
The assumption is, the 16.04 LTS will have 5 year support for each package within release/main
