I decided to not provide a dedicated installation flag for Ubuntu Xenial installer as everything could be already done with yes | or echo 'y' | from the user side anyways as answer to this [y/n] question.

@amanda11 ^^ I believe that should answer your question about running installer in non-interactive mode.

Even if we add --install-py3-from-insecure-ppa or whatever flag for extra security, - it makes little sense as users would be able to use yes | installer or echo y | installer to answer the question in a native Linux way.

OK - so we just need to update the E2E tests to install with an echo "y" | installer then?
Fine with me.
