Bug Description
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
As of March 29, 2017, this source package did not contain dep8 tests in
the current development release of Ubuntu, named Zesty. This was
determined by running `pull-lp-source cobbler-enlist zesty` and then
checking for the existence of 'debian/tests/' and
'debian/
Test automation is essential to higher levels of quality and confidence
in updates to packages. dep8 tests [1] specify how automatic testing can
be integrated into packages and then run by package maintainers before
new uploads.
This defect is to report the absence of these tests and to report the
opportunity as a potential item for development by both new and
experienced contributors.

I infer that this bug was filed because cobbler-enlist is marked as a package the Ubuntu Server team is subscribed to.
However:
- cobbler-enlist is not in main in any supported release.
- it has not been uploaded to the archive since 2011.
- it is an Ubuntu native package for interfacing with cobbler, which is no longer part of the Ubuntu Server platform.
- it is blocking the update of xmlrpc-c, because Debian has dropped the udeb for that library, which cobbler-enlist-udeb depends on.
I am therefore going to go ahead and repurpose this bug report as a removal bug, and remove cobbler-enlist from bionic.
