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

[Michael Fritscher]

I made a custom ISO - or better a completely new one. Its whole size is
122 MB. It has e.g. no GUI, but fullfiles one specific target
(network/VPN/firewall area).

A "normal" ubuntu live ISO have probably most dependencies for cifs-
utils, so there is no big deal I assume. But it hurts really if one
tries to make "minimal" boot/live CDs.

Bug description:
  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.
