[ Impact ]
If somehow the prerm script ran while the Depends of u-a-t weren't installed, then it would crash.
More generally, the prerm script is unnecessarily bloated by using python and importing many modules it doesn't use.
The fix reimplements the python function from the old prerm in shell. This avoids running python at all.
[ Test Plan ]
In a lxd container:
1. interfere with the python3-apt installation somehow (e.g. `rm -rf /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt`)
2. execute the u-a-t.prerm script `apt remove ubuntu-advantage-tools`
Without the fix, you'll see an error.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Uninstalling ubuntu-advantage-tools is only supported in some scenarios, and should cleanup any extra APT sources that it configured when it is removed. That is the purpose of the prerm script. If the reimplementation in shell is wrong, then APT sources files will get leftover upon removal.
The shell implementation also has a hardcoded list of services to try to remove list files for. If this becomes out of date, then some list files may get left behind
[ Other Info ]
The initial case that caused this bug to be reported was removing python3 from the system. I couldn't reproduce the behavior by trying it myself, and that isn't really a supported operation anyway. The bug was only kept open to represent the possibility of making the prerm script have less dependencies and be leaner.
