Bug#964853: hw-probe: add support for running hw-probe once for the Debian installer

Package: hw-probe
Severity: wishlist

It would be interesting for the Debian Installer to have opt-in support
for doing a one-time upload of hardware information using hw-probe.

I envision this working in a similar way to popularity-contest. The d-i 
pkgsel udeb would add a script to install hw-probe, which would then
ask for participation in postinst. If permission is given then hw-probe 
is run in save+upload mode, saving the probe to the d-i log dir. Then
pkgsel will purge the hw-probe package if the probe has not been saved.

I suggest using this path to the probe file:

/var/log/installer/hw-probe
