Public bug reported:

We use apt install kdump-tools without recommend package, and it will
not install makedumpfile package, it will make the kdump generate
failed.

Check the console will notice:

[   18.580478] kdump-tools[578]: Starting kdump-tools:

After we install makedumpfile package, kdump will generated well.

I notice the relateion been change by Debian upstream, and I have no
idea about it, should we change kdump-tools relationship in ubuntu
source?
