After chatting on IRC, realized new version of tool is being worked on
for #1721272 (artful). Will wait for this to complete and use this bug
to SRU the changes which include enabling fips. Will also redo the data
for this SRU.

** Description changed:

  [IMPACT]
+ Most recent version of ubuntu-advantage-tool on github includes fips 
enablement. The fips enablement will allow customers to easily install and 
configure Canonical's FIPS certified modules on xenial
+ 
+ Note: FIPS certified modules are only available for xenial. On other
+ releases the tool will not install and configure fips.
+ 
  when "ubuntu-advantage enable-fips <token>" is issued from commandline,
  
   - configure the private PPA where the FIPS modules are located
   - install the FIPS modules from this PPA to the local machine from where the 
script is run
   - configure the bootloader to enable fips
  
  Upon successful completion of these steps, the customer then gets a message 
stating to reboot
  the machine to complete the fips enablement process.
  
  Without the script, customers must perform the steps manually.
  
  [FIX]
  
  Add enable-fips to advantage script. See debdiff below.
  
  [TEST]
- A test package is available: and it was tested by me on S390, PPC64EL and 
AMD64 architectures.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  The patch adds a new features to ubuntu-advantage-tool in Xenial to enable 
fips. Current functionality was not altered.
