lxc package dependencies over-constrained

Bug Description

Obviously lxc does NOT depend on dnsmasq-base and thus this dependency should be lowered to "optional" or "recommended".

Today entities using containers already have proper DNS as well as DHCP servers and thus do not need at all another point of failure/possible weak software/redundant aka non-green services like the dnsmasq stuff.

Lowering to recommends would be sensible.

It absolutely does depend on it as the init script will fail to start if it's not there.

Note that lxc-net can be turned off by the user and dnsmasq-base doesn't install any daemon.

Marking this won't fix.
