Title:
  update-notifier-common should depend on apt

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  * OS release: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  * Package version: 3.168.3

  /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader runs /usr/lib/apt
  /apt-helper in a subprocess call. apt-helper is provided by the apt
  package.

  Since update-notifier-common will fail to perform one of its core
  features if apt-helper is not available (it will actually crash), it
  should depend on the apt package.

  Of course, this is a very minor issue, since apt is installed on all
  Ubuntu systems anyway.
