That's a feature.

No. LDAP is included at the behest of debian policy. Since libldap is
part of debian-core the ldap authentication module had to be included in
the dbmail base package. Package fragmentation was the main motive. The
same reason applied to the sqlite backend in dbmail-2: sqlite is also in
debian-core.

As for the postgresql and mysql packages...

Then you will need to build your own libzdb and dbmail packages. Build
libzdb-dev without mysql support, and you will be able to build dbmail
packages without mysql. It's not that hard. I never include ORA support
in any builds myself. Still I appreciate others do and test that code.

DBMail is almost completely neutral with regard to any of the database
drivers supported in libzdb. Some small accommodations are needed with
regard to SQL-dialect and handling of blobs. But those variations are
easily dealt with. Only libzdb's API is relevant, and that one is
dead-simple rock solid.
