Subject: postfix: Shouldn't recommend mail-reader

Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 22:24:38 +0100

Package: postfix
Severity: normal


mail-reader is not necessary in order to run postfix, and should really
be a suggests rather than a recommends.  To have it as a recommends
currently results in aptitude attempting to install emacs as a mail
client, which in turn has a large number of dependencies.

In order to solve this, I suggest using "Suggests: mailx | mail-reader".
