We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
**- How I did it**
- Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package
- Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel
- Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications
- Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable
Submodule updates:
* src/sonic-utilities aa27dd9...2244d7b (5):
> Support building sonic-utilities as a Python wheel package instead of a Debian package (#1122)
> [consutil] Display remote device name in show command (#1120)
> [vrf] fix check state_db error when vrf moving (#1119)
> [consutil] Fix issue where the ConfigDBConnector's reference is missing (#1117)
> Update to make config load/reload backward compatible. (#1115)
* src/sonic-ztp dd025bc...911d622 (1):
> Update paths to reflect new sonic-utilities install location, /usr/local/bin/ (#19)
* Changes in sonic-buildimage for the NAT feature
- Docker for NAT
- installing the required tools iptables and conntrack for nat

* Add redis-tools dependencies in the docker nat compilation
* Addressed review comments
* add natsyncd to warm-boot finalizer list
* addressed review comments
* using swsscommon.DBConnector instead of swsssdk.SonicV2Connector
* Enable NAT application in docker-sonic-vs
* [MultiDB] (except ./src and ./dockers dirs): replace redis-cli with sonic-db-cli and use new DBConnector
* update comment for a potential bug
* update comment
* add TODO maker as review reqirement
* [warm reboot] save configuration after warm reboot
After warm reboot, save a copy of in memory database to config_db.json,
upgrade procedure might have removed config_db.json to force new image
to reload minigraph. However, reload minigraph is skipped during warm
reboot. Missing config_db.json would cause device to fault in next
non-upgrading cold/fast reboot.

* Update finalize-warmboot.sh
After warm reboot is done, we need to disable warm reboot flag and
tear down anything setup for warm reboot and persisted across.
