Installing icinga2 directly, which pulls in icinga2-common, makes the
installation go through cleanly.

Besides the policy violation it makes it hard to install icinga2 with the chef
cookbook at https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/icinga2, as it installs every
package after each other (with a version number restriction).

Regards,
Lee
