Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

The "smart-notifier" package (and its dependency, smartmontools) should
be included and configured in Ubuntu by default. These packages monitor
the S.M.A.R.T. health reporting system that is present in most hard
drives and can notify the user of impending failures before they occur.
This is a valuable subsystem to have and we should not leave it up to
the user to learn to install and configure it.

Note that for this to happen, changes will probably be necessary to the
packages themselves; smartd's configuration is not very automatic, and
smart-notifier's UI is not very Ubuntuish.

** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
