As requested by mvo above, this bug is now the MIR for squashfuse. The
same package is in zesty, yakkety and xenial so the result of the review
should apply equally to all series.

## Paperwork
Availability: in universe in all relevant series
Rationale: required for snapd inside LXD containers
Security: No bugs reported against package in Ubuntu or security related issues 
on Github
Quality assurance:
 - Packaging standard for a fuse filesystem
 - No debconf questions
 - No bugs
 - No bugs
 - Looked at in Ubuntu (never updated but was SRUed to all releases)
 - Not hardware dependent
 - No upstream testsuite, the plan is to have snapd tested inside LXD as part 
of snapd autopkgtest, which will indirectly exercise squashfuse
 - Has a watch file
UI: No UI
Dependencies: Depends on a bunch of compression libraries, all in main
Standards compliance: compliant
Maintenance:
 - Ubuntu Server team subscribed to LP bugs
Background information:
 - Needed for snaps inside LXD containers where using the kernel "squashfs" 
isn't possible (denied for unprivileged users).
Security:
 - No existing CVE or other security report for squashfuse
 - No suid/sgid binaries
 - Code will run as "root" in the case of LXD but doesn't have to, and "root" 
in the case of LXD means root inside a user namespace, so effectively an 
unprivileged user on the host.
