[Bug 1546358] [NEW] policycoreutils (in universe) is installed by default by isc-dhcp-server as it is a Recommends

[Andres Rodriguez]

Public bug reported:

Policycoreutils is being installed by default, and this dependency is in
Universe. This should not be a recommends but rather, it should be a
Suggests, because this is pulling selinux dependencies.

However, it seems that the postinst requires a binary being shipped in
policycoreutils:

debian/isc-dhcp-server.postinst:test ! -x /sbin/restorecon ||
/sbin/restorecon /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

** Affects: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Critical
         Status: New

** Changed in: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Critical
