Oh. Then why is mutt in non-us? :-)
lftp nonus.debian.org:/debian-non-US/hamm/binary-i386> ls mutt*
-rw-r--r-- 1 1027 201 329444 May 15 08:34 mutt-i_0.91.1i-7.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 1027 201 201824 Mar 3 13:49 mutt_0.89.1i-1.deb
Hmm, looks like it's an old version that should be removed from non-us.
The one in main is version number 0.91.1-7.
Ah, this is already reported as bug #19123.

Well, it's marked "extra" in its debian/control file. And the
description says: "This package is needed only to build the PGP
package. It is not required to use the PGP package."
If it's only useful for compiling PGP with rsaref, then I would call
that "specialised requirements".

What security problems? The ones I've heard of till now were all
false alarms.
