Description

Currently to get Debian/Ubuntu systems to register as Content Hosts to Foreman and Katello you need to use a 3rd party method : https://pypi.org/project/deb-subscription/#description

Considering Subscription-Manager has Debian/Ubuntu support ( https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/blob/master/contrib/debian/changelog ) can we please get Debian/Ubuntu support for Content Hosts, have DEB packages made, and a PPA/repo available for future Katello updates for Debian/Ubuntu hosts?

This really is part of the last-mile to get Foreman capable of fully supporting Debian/Ubuntu systems, which are very highly used distributions of Linux.

Please? :)
