Title:
  Update eoan with landscape-client 19.12

Status in landscape-client package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in landscape-client source package in Eoan:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Reference:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases

  This SRU is for the 19.12 release of landscape-client which includes:

   * Modernized packaging.
   * Added support for python-apt 1.9
   * Converted init script to systemd service.
   * Sysinfo: add support for multiple IPv6 addresses per interface. (LP: #829379)
   * Upstream version of previous SRU patches.

  [Test Case]

   * There is no specific test cases for this since it's an upstream release including all 
     previously patched bugfixes, along with with a few regression fixes due to new versions
     present in eoan.

   * The current unit test suite and system test suite now pass on eoan/focal.
     (e.g. https://travis-ci.org/CanonicalLtd/landscape-client/builds/620310386)

   * The updated packaging also adds build-time testing, which should help raise regressions faster
     in the future.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Most of the changes, apart from the ones listed above have been patched through SRU and are
     already proven. 
   
   * The init.d to systemd update is a potential regression point. In the event there were any
     issues with this change, the effect would be fairly apparent since landscape-client relies
     on it for startup. However, the new service configuration is much simpler than previously.

   * Another potential regression point is the update python-apt support. It changed package
     profiles enforcement. As the feature was completely broken, any regression would likely
     affect edge cases in package profiles which were not already covered by current test suites.
