What I do for sourceforge (not the package currently in unstable) and
gforge is this: the main package (sourceforge) depends on
sourceforge-mta-exim | sourceforge-mta, and then I have
sourceforge-mta-exim and sourceforge-mta-postfix pacakges. Depending
on which one you install, then, you know what MTA to configure for.
