Bug Description

Hi,

As far as I can tell, the ubuntu-core-meta metapackage and the binary packages it builds:

 - ubuntu-core-libs
 - ubuntu-core-libs-dev

Are no longer in use by snapcraft, the core snap or any other consumers; and is out of date with that is considered the accepted list of packages that defines a developer system or the core dependencies for building snaps.

Please remove it from the Ubuntu archive.

Since no one knows of anywhere that this is used today, the best way to figure out if it is still needed is to remove it early in the cycle (i.e. now) and find out if anyone reports that something has broken.
