Adds new libnetfilter-conntrack-dev build dep and install dep of libnetfilter-conntrack3, which is in universe.

Due to this in upstream changelog:
            Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
     enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
     DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
     used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
     and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
     compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
     libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
     initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.

Do not believe it is worth the MIR this cycle to add that feature. Therefore suggesting that this package is merged, with the introduction of a delta dropping the conntrack support, and removing the build-dep.

Thanks.
