Had some time to test this more.

I'm almost certain this is caused by the server autoinstall method.

After doing another manual server install (interactive), and installing ubuntu-desktop-minimal, I just need to do a `snap refresh snapd` to fix the issue with the software store. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream is present without any extra steps.

If I do an autoinstall, and list appstream as the only package to install, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream is missing.
The command run by the installer is below:
```
/usr/bin/apt-get --quiet --assume-yes --option=Dpkg::options::=--force-unsafe-io --option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold install appstream
```

But if I run this manually on a clean system, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream is present. So the issue must be something else related to the autoinstall.

I can only replicate this issue if using the Ubuntu Autoinstall method.

Should I open a separate issue for this? I've already added subiquity package to the affected packages list.
