The whole distutils module is a legacy thing in python3. Specifically,
most of it is not installed in Debian by default (there is only
distutils.version). Depending on python3-distutils is problematic, as
it's availability varies between Debian versions.
Instead of fighting with special cases in dependencies, replace the
whole thing with non-legacy shutil.which() (available since Python 3.3).
The "qubes-sysinit: set GUI_OPTS in gui-agent-linux" commit breaks
gui-agent-linux lacking its counterpart. Express this in the package
metadata.

It is needed by the startup scripts to create fs on fresh private image.
Otherwise /rw (and thus /home) isn't mounted and user applications fail
to start.

Base qubes-core-agent package have common files used by various
subpackages. It is important to update them at the same time, otherwise
for example python stubs in /usr/bin/* (like qubes-firewall) will not
match actual python modules.

Make sure that qubesdb is configured (including service start) before
executing postinst of qubes-core-agent package, which will communicate
with qubesdb service.

Some applications complains if compiled version of dconf database is
missing ("dconf-WARNING **: unable to open file '/etc/dconf/db/local':
Failed to open file '/etc/dconf/db/local': open() failed: No such file
or directory; expect degraded performance").
There is only one entry in that database, but generate its binary
version anyway to avoid that warning message.
The dconf call is already included in package scripts, now only make
sure the utility is really installed.

Instead of calling 'su' to switch the user, use own implementation of
this. Thanks to PAM it's pretty simple. The main reason is to have
control over process waiting for session termination (to call
pam_close_sesion/pam_end). Especially we don't want it to keep std* fds
open, which would prevent qrexec-agent from receiving EOF when one of
them will be closed.
Also, this will preserve QREXEC_AGENT_PID environment variable.

- there are many netcat versions (openbsd, nmap, ...), which behave
differently - especially while handling EOF
- Debian jessie doesn't have nmap-ncat (which handle EOFs sufficiently
good)
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1854
While it doesn't make sense to install qubes-core-agent without qrexec,
it may make sense to do the otherway around - install just
qrexec-agent without all the qrexec services and configuration. For
example on some pre-installed system.

When a file is moved to other package, the new package needs Replaces:
and Breaks: dependecies on old package. Otherwise dpkg will refuse to
change file ownership.

This will save a lot of dependencies if networking is not needed in VMs
based on given template. Thanks to updates proxy over qrexec, template
itself do not need to have network configured too.

In Fedora it makes little sense, but in Debian it allows to avoid a lot
of dependencies. So split in both, to keep it simple.

This is meant to notify dom0 about features supported by just-installed
template. This service is called by dom0 just after template
installation.

This reverts commit 5dfcf06ef4.
python3-daemon isn't widespread enough yet - for Debian jessie available
only in packports.
In addition to the revert itself, adjust packaging for this change
(mostly for Debian).
This way:
- VM prompt do know VM list, the list may be filtered based on policy
- source VM don't learn name of target VM
