Bug Description
ureadahead does not seem to be working at all these days - no profiles are being collected - and is the only thing left depending on libnih, so let's get rid of it, and then we can get rid of libnih as well.
[Original report]
Since on common platforms ureadahead solves nothing but causes a huge amount of garbage/totally useless error messages, which makes it really hard to extract the important messages from e.g. journalctl output, it should be removed from ubuntu-minimal. If there are people, who need it, can still explicitly install it.

Further rationale:
* /var/lib/ureadahead is empty on cosmic, so no data is being collected
* with SSDs being more common place these days, readahead is mostly pointless, or even harmful
* systemd also removed their readahead.
