Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In Bionic and Xenial we have a manpage for update-smart-drivedb script
  but it is not available. This script is quite important to users
  because it allows them to update the file which contains information
  about hardware, and this data is constantly updated, sometimes if it
  is not updated you cannot support some specific hardware.

  The update-smart-drivedb script was removed in the past because of
  some security concerns regarding the update process. After sometime it
  was re-introduced because upstream implemented GPG verification
  support (which is available in Focal). The proposed fix re-introduce
  the new version of this script with a GPG verification support in
  Bionic and Xenial.

  [Test Case]

  $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:bionic smartmontools-bionic
  $ lxc shell smartmontools-bionic
  # apt update && apt upgrade -y
  # apt install -y smartmontools
  # man update-smart-drivedb
  # update-smart-drivedb
  update-smart-drivedb: command not found

  The same applies to Xenial.

  [Regression Potential]

  The chance of a regression is minimal. This script was not available
  previously.

  [Original Description]

  manpage
      manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/update-smart-drivedb.8.html
  says
      Provided by: smartmontools_6.4+svn4214-1_amd64
  but
  invoking it fails with
      ~$ update-smart-drivedb
      update-smart-drivedb: command not found
