Merge setpriv into util-linux package
This makes the command be part of the essential set, which is likely
needed as it's the recommended way to drop privilegies in a script
(on linux) when there's no need for a new PAM session to be opened up.
The command was previously in a separate package because it pulled
in new dependency libcap-ng0. The situation has possibly changed since
and other parts of the base system now pulls in libcap-ng0 anyway
(notably libaudit1 which is itself pulled in by libpam*, login,
etc....).
(The separate setpriv package was initially added in commit ad25bcb)
No transitional package should be needed as the setpriv package
doesn't seem to have any reverse dependencies in buster or sid
(plus it'll get pushed out by the Breaks/Replaces relation in
util-linux for those that have manually installed it).
(Note also that no special consideration was needed for stage1 builds
as the util-linux binary package is already completely excluded
from stage1.)

debian/rules: Avoid hardcoding list of packages for bash-completions
A hardcoded list easily becomes outdated as is already visible w.r.t.
the rfkill and setpriv packages.

Drop obsolete Breaks against cloud-utils
The fixed version is in Stretch/stable, so not needed anymore
in Debian (and apparently this is not relevant on Ubuntu as they
have something else taking up the cloud-utils package name).

Declare the explicit requirement for (fake)root
The util-linux package currently requires (fake)root to produce the debs
due to static non-root:root ownerships in the debs.
