** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ * OEM images provided by Canonical and other companies use a tracking id
called Distribution Channel Descriptor (DCD). There is interest of reporting
this as part of ubuntu-report one.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ * Install the new version from -proposed
+ * run `ubuntu-report show`
+ -> check there are no DCD field in OEM on the outputed json
+ * Ship a valid DCD file as /var/lib/ubuntu_dist_channel (see below for one)
+ * run `ubuntu-report show`
+ -> check that DCD field is part of the OEM stenza, and corresponds to the
non commented full line string in /var/lib/ubuntu_dist_channel.
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ * The only impact is for OEM shipping a DCD file. The field is ommitted if
empty and have the same logic than other fields (not failing if any bug in that
code path appears)
+ * Backed up via a lot of new and existing tests, checking corner cases like
no valid file, empty file, no file, file with only commented, file with extra
\n…

OEM use a tracking id called Distribution Channel Descriptor (DCD)
located in .disk/ubuntu_dist_channel and installed by Ubiquity to
/var/lib/ubuntu_dist_channel
When this information exists ubuntu-report must collect the tracking id.
The proposal is to store it in the OEM key:
[...]
"OEM": {
"Vendor": "Vendor Name",
"Product": "4287CTO",
"DCD": "<Tracking Id>
}
[...]
An example of content of a DCD file is:
"""""
# This is a distribution channel descriptor
# For more information see
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor
canonical-oem-somerville-xenial-amd64-20160624-2
"""""
