Bug Description

Floppy drives are practically nonexistent today. They are not even compatible with fairly recent motherboards anymore.

Why would all "linux-image-*" packages *suggest* installing "fdutils" to support them?

I suggest dropping this dependency.

Maybe the next non-LTS release (20.10) is a good moment to do it?
