Adjust dependencies:
- Don't depend on coreutils, which is marked essential (see Debian
Policy 3.5, "Dependencies").
- Fixup dependency on iproute/iproute2 -- according to the iproute2
Debian changelog, iproute acquired tuntap support in version
20100519-1, and iproute2 had it from the start.
A iproute with "tuntap" support should be in Debian distributions since
at least wheezy. Since we can reasonably depend on that nowadays,
simplify the ifupdown support scripts to use "ip tuntap", instead of
conditionally using "openvpn --mktun" or "tunctl" from uml-utilities.
Adapt handling of the quicktun user (see
<https://wiki.debian.org/AccountHandlingInMaintainerScripts> for the
guidelines followed):
- Make use of adduser instead of useradd, which allows to drop the
conditional, and will respect sysadmin settings in
/etc/adduser.conf.
- Create a system group as well. This allows for the private key file
to be owned by "root:quicktun", and have "-rw-r-----" as
permissions, allowing read-only access to the quicktun daemon, and
no-one else. Users of existing packages will have that group created
and the "quicktun" user's GID changed to it.
- Remove quicktun user and group on purge instead of on remove, and in
postrm instead of prerm. The removal will only happen if the "deluser"
command is present. The removal on purge should unproblematic, as
quicktun itself does not create any files (which then would be owned
by that user).

I've updated this PR to only include the packaging improvements, i.e., removed the "Handle ifupdown support in script" commit. I'd still like to follow up on the latter in a separate PR, but without duplicating the list of setting names into the ifupdown script. |

This fixes a dependency issue regarding iproute, and brings the user creation and removal more in line with Debian best practices. A quicktun system group is now available for use with private key files.
