    d/control: remove lsb-base from Depends of busybox-syslogd & udhcpd
    
    lsb-base was in Depends becase it provided /lib/lsb/init-functions
    file for the sysvinit initscripts in these packages. Now, sysvinit-utils
    has eaten this file. But this package is essential, so there's no need
    to depend on things providing init-functions anymore.
    
    Drop this Depends to avoid lintian errors.

CVE-2021-42385: (needs triaging) A use-after-free in Busybox's awk applet leads to denial of service and possibly code execution when processing a crafted awk pattern in the evaluate function
CVE-2021-42386: (needs triaging) A use-after-free in Busybox's awk applet leads to denial of service and possibly code execution when processing a crafted awk pattern in the nvalloc function
CVE-2022-28391: (needs triaging) BusyBox through 1.35.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code if netstat is used to print a DNS PTR record's value to a VT compatible terminal. Alternatively, the attacker could choose to change the terminal's colors.
