[Bug 853255] Re: FFe: Sync dnsmasq 2.58-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Adds new libnetfilter-conntrack-dev build dep and install dep of
libnetfilter-conntrack3, which is in universe.

Due to this in upstream changelog:
            Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If 
	    enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
	    DNS queries will be copied  to the outgoing connections
	    used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
	    and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
	    compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on 
	    libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
	    initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.

Do not believe it is worth the MIR this cycle to add that feature.
Therefore suggesting that this package is merged, with the introduction
of a delta dropping the conntrack support, and removing the build-dep.

Thanks.

** Summary changed:

- FFe: Sync dnsmasq 2.58-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
+ FFe: Merge dnsmasq 2.58-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

** Description changed:

- Please sync dnsmasq 2.58-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
+ Please merge dnsmasq 2.58-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
  
  Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
  New upstream version is mostly bug fixes:
-  - http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/CHANGELOG
+  - http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/CHANGELOG
  
  Introduces new binary package (dnsmasq-utils) which ships
  dhcp_lease_time which allows fixing of bug 852771 (allow IP addresses to
  be put back into the pool faster, for re-use - avoiding exhaustion.
  This is the /main/ reason for the FFe request, and could be achieved by
  cherrypicking that single change as it is in the current ubuntu package
  upstream contrib/, but i'd like to avoid introducing a Ubuntu delta on
  this package, and the other bug fixes seem generally useful.)
