yeah, if only people used the bts more often This problem is being tracked
since 4 years...

If the BTS is right, it's only three packages blocking #508644
"Sorting out mail-transport-agent mess":

Fix blocked by 645024: fwknop-server: dependencies spell default-mta wrong,
645022: nmh: please change Recommends to default-mta | mail-transport-agent,
645020: pyca: please change Depends to default-mta | mail-transport-agent

;-)

Holger
