Hm, better compare the Size-Output from apt-cache show _package_. Since
you talk only about disk-space, we maybe should switch back to smail
because:
Package: smail
Size: 506536
Package: exim
Size: 746472
Package: postfix
Size: 1510828

Hm, haven't you just be arguing about the Installed-Size of exim vs.
postfix to show that exim should be preferred? If yes, then you should
argue now also for rcs, because of this:
Package: rcs
Size: 298102
Package: cvs
Size: 937000
Or why do you argue about the disk-space that the mta uses, when you now
ignore this aspect and instead prefer switching to a software that is
about 3 times bigger?

Hm, is cups now configurable without using any web-access? I haven't
heared anything that you can configure cups with an editor, which is a
advantage of lpr and lprng.

No, but I think dnsutils depended once on it and dnsutils is standard.
