docker-proxy is needed by docker-engine at runtime, and was
previously not included. This leads to the following error
when attempting to port-map ports to a container:

  $ docker run -p 8080:8080 nginx
  docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external
  connectivity on endpoint:
  exec: "docker-proxy": executable file not found in $PATH.

Docker expects the docker-proxy binary to exist in the PATH.

 I wonder if forcing these dependencies is really the way to go. As I understand
it, if docker is used without portmapping, docker-proxy isn't needed, right? So
we could basically consider docker-proxy a suboption of docker-engine. And add
to its help text something like:

	  This package is required to allow portmapping in docker-daemon.

 In fact, the same consideration goes for the other runtime dependencies of
docker-engine. containerd is probably pretty much unavoidable, but are iptables
and sqlite always needed, or only for certain features?

 Regards,
 Arnout

Please see this patch series and review it first, in light of what
you're suggesting here:

 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/760397/
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/760394/
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/760395/

Sqlite is not required at all, afaik, and I will run some tests today
to see if disabling it breaks Docker (it probably won't).

iptables is definitely required, I wouldn't make that optional, just
because Docker does a lot of network abstraction internally with it,
and would very likely break completely without it.

Best,
Christian
