I just packaged MIME::Lite. Doesn't hurt to have it. (I originally packaged
libmime-perl as well. Hi gibreel :)

I will take this approach regarding SSL which I won't use (I think). I will
try enable all the other transport mechanism, though, as you also suggested
in your second email.

Does anyone have a really foolproof way to test all the build depends for
this one?  Else I'll just let BenC's dpkg-genbuilddeps loose...
