Bug#898136: lintian: Reduce depends-on-mail-transport-agent-without-alternatives to pedantic

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi Scott.

Just to confirm; it currently it reports for all packages that
provide mail-transport-agent, ie:

  citadel-server
  courier-mta
  dma
  esmtp-run
  exim4
  exim4-daemon-heavy
  exim4-daemon-light
  masqmail
  msmtp-mta
  nullmailer
  opensmtpd
  postfix
  qmail-run
  sendmail-bin
  ssmtp

.. and the suggestion is that this list is (essentially) reduced to
just exim4?

If so, I don't believe this would warrant the change in severity.


Best wishes,
