Package: mailutils
Version: 1:1.0-1
Severity: wishlist

mailutils seems to be built to include support for MySQL, but not PostgreSQL.
This is also not indicated in the package description provided by 'apt-cache
show mailutils' or 'apt-cache show mailutils-imap4d'.

Being as the only mention of PostgreSQL in the package's changelog (as found
in /usr/share/doc/mailutils-imap4d/changelog.Debian.gz by grepping for "ostgr")
notes that building for PostgreSQL was disabled sometime on 2003 due to
OpenSSL license incompatibility, perhaps it would be a good time to reexamine
the issue? Not that I have any idea how things might have changed since then,
however a number of other Debian packages seem to have been transitioned to
GNU's TLS implementation, including the PostgreSQL client library.
