foreman-proxy requires too many packages
Description
Installing a external proxy (external dhcp), requires too many packages. Most of them seems useless to the task.
E.g. cpp, make, debus, fakeroot, g++, gcc, dpkg-dev and so on.
Please, make the packages requires what is really necessary.

Most of the dependencies come from build-essentials, which the ruby-bundler package recommends.
Build support shouldn't be necessary for foreman-proxy as it uses binary packages, but the recommendation is valid for other cases. foreman-proxy does have a dependency on ruby-bundler though to perform dependency loading.
If you install with recommendations disabled, it's quite a lot smaller:
