Package: convirt
Version: all
Severity: important

convirt depends on dnsmasq which is a service for DNS and DHCP.

As thus it can interfere with an existing an existing DHCP server
in such a way that hosts get wrong IP addresses.

libvirt-bin just recommends dnsmasq-bin.

Is it really necessary that convirt depends on dnsmasq? Can this
dependency by downgraded to a recommends or even a suggests?

(I aborted installation of convirt for that reason and thus its
shown as not installed below.)

Thanks,
Martin
