SRU proposal for groovy.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * When installing apport-gtk (or apport-kde) on a non-GUI installation 
(cloud image, server image) as a dependency providing x-terminal-emulator 
xiterm+thai package is pulled in, which is not appropriate for most locales.
+ My understanding is it was selected due to lowest number of unsatisfied 
dependencies.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 test
+  * lxc shell test
+  * apt update
+  * apt install apport-gtk
+  * Examine the packages listed to be installed: xiterm+thai should be among 
them.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * In dedicated archive mirrors with limited number of packages changing
+ that may cause errors due to packages missing in the archive. However,
+ that's unlikely.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Original bug description:
+ 
  Vanilla install of Ubuntu 20.04 set to an Australian locale includes the 
"Thai X Terminal" package.
  This package should not be included.
  
  I noticed that it is also reported against Xubuntu and Lubuntu:
