Bug description:
Feature
=======
A separate network-manager-config-connectivity package that contains the
3-line config snippet to enable NetworkManager's connectivity check. This is
the same approach taken by Fedora since 2014 (their package is named
config-connectivity-fedora).
jbicha would like to have ubuntu-gnome-desktop recommend this package for
zesty. With this config, GNOME Shell will popup a browser page when a captive
portal is detected. The browser page is powered by webkit2gtk.
https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.14/#captive-portals
By making it a separate package, it is very easy for Ubuntu flavors to
opt in to installing it by default if they choose. And it's very easy
for users to opt in or out without needing to mess around with system
configuration files.
This new feature (and how to opt out) will be mentioned in Ubuntu
GNOME's Release Notes.
Enabling the connectivity check by default for all of Ubuntu was discussed
almost 5 years ago:

Git merge proposal attached.
Original Bug Report
==================
When in a hotel there is a often a T&Cs page that is delivered when
connecting to the network. Some combination of network manager and update
manager (or something else entirely) doesn't seem to be able to handle this,
and update are left in a non-working state after not being able to read package
headers file.
