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

[Jeremy Bicha]

Unfortunately, we are in Final Freeze now in preparation for Ubuntu
18.10's release next week so I don't removing the direct dependency from
casper is something we are going to be able to do until 19.04.

Title:
  should not hard-depend on cifs-utils

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
