Title:
  policycoreutils (in universe) is installed by default by isc-dhcp-
  server as it is a Recommends

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Policycoreutils is being installed by default because the package is
  listed as a Recommends. This package, however, is in universe and
  seems to be pulling selinux. This should not be a recommends but
  rather, it should be a Suggests.

  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
