Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.9-2
Severity: normal

The Dpends includes:

    exim4 | mail-transport-agent

This should not be the case. 

The mutt can be used various ways like just for reading offline
mail. It does not need to require outgoing mail transport. It's
nuissance to not able to install mutt for rading Berkeley mailboxes
that have been retrieved by e.g. fetchmail and then use *other*
program, like Emacs to send mail (which includes native SMTP support).

Please lift the requirement and make mutt installable as standalone
progam. The code could just give error if the "send mail" capabilities
are engaged when no MTA is present (timeout check or some other mean).
