This points out a better solution for the Depends: line.
It should have Depends: mail-transport-agent | mailx.
No, you can't have a virtual package as the first alternative in
Depends, otherwise a random mta gets installed.
That clears up a lot of thinking. I always wondered how that
got resolved.
In light of this and the mail transport agent checks above in
the sendmail.el file perhaps it is best to just use a...
exim4 | mail-transport-agent
... term in the dependencies and forget about the mailx
path. There are only two packages that provide mailx,
bsd-mailx already requires an mta and the heirloom-mailx
suggests it and probably doesn't work right without it.
