Bug description:
  This is a bug collecting all remaining packages that need to be
  converted to noawait in xenial or bionic.

  [Impact]
  "await" triggers are run before a package is configured. If B activates A, then A's trigger code in the postinst must be run before A can be configured.

  Triggers do not specify a ordering dependency however, so apt can very
  well have A in a state where it is not configurable, and installing B
  then fails. This is a limitation of triggers: They are not exposed in
  Packages files, so we don't see them.

  What this means is that packages with await triggers either need to
  have all triggering packages depend on them (e.g. B Depends A), or
  they need to be moved to noawait.

  This bug is about moving triggers to be noawait, by changing
  "activate" to "activate-noawait" and/or "interest" to "interest-
  noawait". If it turns out the trigger should be "await", we should
  explictly use the "interest-await" and "activate-await" variants in
  cosmic too.

  [Test case]
  There is no test case.

  [Regression potential]
  Packages triggering other packages are now configured even without the package being triggered being fully configured (they will be in the triggers-pending state).

  In most cases, this is not a problem. However, packages should be
  usable when configured, so for example, a package installing a
  gsettings schema would need to depend on the appropriate gsettings
  stuff and keep triggering it via await, as it would crash otherwise
  despite being configured.
