This is poor timing to approve something for 16.04.
- Watchdog in ubuntu has several potentially bad bugs. Some of which would be solved by a sync from Debian. But bug 1448924 and bug 1559468 at least have patches (they overlap each other actually). Bug 1535854 also seems important, as do CPU bugs bug 1349411 and bug 1010855. Not all of these are blockers for main, but they don't instill confidence in the package. Is snappy hitting these bugs?

- Ancient packaging (compat level 5!) but nothing we should do about that from Ubuntu side. Just means that new dh modules don't get run automatically. Slightly more brittle packaging as a result.
- It suffers from lintian error init.d- script- depends- on-all- virtual- facility, but I guess that's OK since this is systemd-based these days.
- Security should look at this, assigning
