Comment 3 for bug 1686183

This introduces a python dependency to base-files, which I think is incorrect. I think the decision to choose base-files should be reevaluated.

From the point of view of end-users, regardless if the script is in base-files or in its own package, the same number of apt commands will be needed either way.

It's either:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <token>

or:
apt-get update
apt-get install ubuntu-advantage
ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <token>

In its own package it can have its own copyright, manpage, correct dependencies, its own source tarball, tests (which were stripped from the debdiff here), upstream url, nice description, etc.
