There is a problem with conflicts. Because sometimes in some
configurations a special package is needed but the administrator have
configured it in a special way to avoid the security flaws.

It would also be good to advice the user in a better way. Like suggest
fetchmail-ssl instead of fetchmail.

But probably I'm looking for a script that should be runned after
the package is installed.
