Package: azure-cli
Version: 2.50.0-2
Severity: normal

azure-cli prompts the user for surveys in at least some circumstances
when running `az login`.  This is done using a bright blue, three-line
banner that is large and distracting, and totally unnecessary.

The Unix philosophy is that software should be silent unless it has
something relevant to say to the user.  Survey requests benefit
Microsoft, but are not actually relevant to the user, and if the user
wanted to provide feedback, it would be just as easy to find the
appropriate website to do so.  In addition, terminal users do not expect
software in Debian to print lots of noisy messages to the terminal, and
in general, when software does so, it's considered a bug.

Please disable the survey requests in Debian to keep azure-cli quiet.
