[raring-meta] Update linux-crashdump dependencies

Currently there is one complicating factor: kdump-tools is
produced by the makedumpfile source package (which is in main)
but the binary package kdump-tools is not (yet).

Louis is looking into that. Though it seems not a too big issue
given that the makedumpfile source and binary package are already
in main.

But after this change, the meta package may get stuck. Not sure
whether it is better to wait for kdump-tools to be in main or
go ahead and push for it through having the meta package held
back by it.

Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: Update linux-crashdump dependencies

We were using some additional scripts in kexec-tools to produce
kernel dumps via kexec. Though upstream and Debian got tools
to create those dumps packaged as kdump-tools. We want to reduce
the deviation from Debian, so changing the meta package to depend
on kdump-tools.
The kdump-tools package depends on kexec-tools and makedumpfile,
so those two can be dropped from the dependencies.
