How do I convince Debian that I have my own MTA, thank you very much,
and it shouldn't attempt to install one of its own choosing? Is there
a way to permanently fulfill a dependency by hand without installing a
package? I'm not interested in having to tell dselect, dpkg, or apt
to ignore dependen

Um, it's quite annoying to be constantly interrupted to interact
