MAAS does not pull in ipmitool by default (it is a "Suggests", due to ipmitool being in universe). While I understand that we can't add a strict dependency w/o including ipmitool in main, I do think it is an issue that it can cause MAAS to silently fail to work. IMO, there should minimally be some notification in the UI that warns a user when the tools required for a certain power type are not installed.
