Dear Maintainer,

There are 3 packages providing 'mailx' virtual package (as of Testing): 'bsd-
mailx', 'mailutils', 'heirloom-mailx';
if the "default" 'bsd-mailx' package isn't installed (or has been removed),
'heirloom-mailx' seems to be selected as the default one for 'mailx' (instead
of usual 'bsd-mailx').
