Details

Description:
apache-libcloud should be added as a dependency for salt, or at least mentioned as an optional dependency when using salt-cloud.
This is because salt-cloud will fail to operate with the following error without it:

$ sudo salt-cloud --list-images all
[INFO ] salt-cloud starting
[WARNING ] The cloud driver, 'openstack', configured under the 'rackspace-config' cloud provider alias was not loaded since 'openstack.get_configured_provider()' could not be found. Removing it from the available providers list
Error: There was an error listing images: There are no cloud providers configured.

The only way that I could find out that apache-libcloud was a dependency was to search through salt-cloud installation instructions before it was merged into the main salt project. I don't know if this is an issue with other cloud providers but it will be for anyone trying to use rackspace/openstack

Additional info:
* package version: 2014.7.2-1


Steps to reproduce:

- # pacman -S salt
- # mkdir /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d
- create a cloud provider configuration file as described at http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/cloud/config.html#openstack
- # salt-cloud --list-images all
This task depends upon

That is the expected behavior.

There are a ton of modules, and most modules have their own dependencies, and would be a ridiculous list of dependencies.

Matching what everyone else does, we only include the dependencies required for the main service.

I do need to fix parts of it and add in stuff like cherry and different things that could be used with salt-api, but for modules and salt-cloud drivers, and all that, we are leaving them off.
