[Bug 1786227] [NEW] should not hard-depend on cifs-utils

[Michael Fritscher]

Public bug reported:

Currently (current bionic has the casper version 1.394), it hard-depends
on cifs-utils, which make the installation 41 MB bigger. This is only
needed if used with getting the squash image via cifs. The basic
functionality (running a live iso or image) works without it - proven by
killing the dependency by hand.

So I suggest to move cifs-utils to recommendends or suggestions.
