Debian packaging
##### SUMMARY
<!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
Cloudstack-usage package post-install job has a dependancy on
cloudstack-management package. This dependancy is missing in the Control file.
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
<!--
For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal
test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
For new features, show how the feature would be used.
-->
<!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
~~~
On a fresh install of 4.18 on debian based system, install all cloudstack
packages with no specific order.
If cloudstack-usage is installed before cloudstack-management,
cloudstack-usage post-install script fails with error:
"chown: invalid user: ‘cloud:cloud’"
"dpkg: error processing package cloudstack-usage (--configure):"
" installed cloudstack-usage package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 1"

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
~~~
cloudstack-usage package should install without error.
~~~
##### ACTUAL RESULTS
<!-- What actually happened? -->
<!-- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below -->
~~~
Since commit cdaad257ea3aaeb15cefc13abfb1803d149348d8, a chown command
("chown cloud:cloud ...") is executed in debian/cloudstack-usage.postinst
(https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/66cbe0a0512cae71ba42b9f2b02ab86f41f9c33d/debian/cloudstack-usage.postinst#L49).
The "cloud" user is created in debian/cloudstack-management.postinst
(https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/66cbe0a0512cae71ba42b9f2b02ab86f41f9c33d/debian/cloudstack-management.postinst#L23-L25)
However, in the debian/control file, cloudstack-usage has no dependancy on
cloudstack-management:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/66cbe0a0512cae71ba42b9f2b02ab86f41f9c33d/debian/control#L37
cloudstack-usage may be installed before cloudstack-management and "chown
cloud:cloud" command may happen before user "cloud" is created, leading to a
failed installation.
Note: the aforementioned commit also introduces chown commands for other
packaging systems, but I am not geared to check if the same issue happens on
RedHat or Suse based systems.
