Qubes VM require few config options in grub. Ship appropriate
configuration. Debian have grub.d support, so it can be done cleanly.
On Fedora, /etc/default/grub needs to be modified. Still keep the
options in separate file, but include it manually from
/etc/default/grub.

- 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)

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.
