OK I get it.  This is one of the reasons I like to keep everything
possible rpm based, including perl modules.

As I see it you have two reasonable choices:

1. build and install the perl-MIME-tools rpm this can get funky as you
know. This is still the method I prefer.

2 dl the src.rpm for MailScanner and tweak the specfile by removing the
dependency for perl-MIME-tools, rebuild the Mailscanner rpm and install
it.

There may be a way to tell apt to ignore the deps for a specific package
but I really do not know what that is.
