Why ist this needed? dselect, capt and aptitude show the first line of
the description and their is clearly noted that this package is related
to qmail. So if you don't have qmail installed or know what this is, you
will need to use the search function to find out what qmail is and then
you find qmail-src which explains the problem? So why?
