Public bug reported: The /etc/os-release standard includes a PRIVACY_POLICY_URL field.
Ubuntu should implement this and set it to: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy This field is actually used by the GNOME Settings app (gnome-control- center) although we need a few other pieces for it to be shown to users. (See bug 1614820 if you're curious about that). Patch attached.
