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
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#910
This rewrite is mainly to adopt new interface for Qubes 4.x.
Main changes:
- change language from bash to python, introduce qubesagent python package
- support both nftables (preferred) and iptables
- new interface (https://qubes-os.org/doc/vm-interface/)
- IPv6 support
- unit tests included
- nftables version support running along with other firewall loaded

xdg-open is more robust in choosing default application for particular
file type: it supports fallback if the preferred application isn't
working, and most importantly it support system-wide defaults
(/usr/share/applications/defaults.list,
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list), so no "random" application is
chosen.
By default xdg-open tries to use environment-specific tool, like
gvfs-open - which isn't good for us, because many such tools do not wait
for editor/viewer termination. That would mean that DisposableVM would
be destroyed just after opening the file.
To avoid such effect, we set DE=generic.

Since /lib/modules is not mounted read-only anymore (only a selected
subdirectory there), it is no longer required to prevent kernel package
installation. Even more - since PV Grub being supported, it makes sense
to have kernel installed in the VM.

The custom way proved to be unreliable - for example does not survive
`locales` package upgrade. So settle on much more reliable way.

* origin/pr/31:
Fixed /etc/pam.d/su.qubes. (Moved line 'auth sufficient pam_permit.so' up. May not be low '@include' lines.)
- Prevent 'su -' from asking for password in Debian [based] templates. Thanks to @unman and @marmarek for suggesting the fix! Fixes https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1128. - Changed 'ifeq (1,${DEBIANBUILD})' to 'ifeq ($(shell lsb_release -is), Debian)' to make the build work outside of Qubes Builder as well.

It isn't used anywhere - we only call `ntpdate` as part of
qubes.SyncNtpTime.
If user want to install it, he/she is free to do that.
