Is msmtp really unusable for you ? or do you only complain you can't
receive any local mail anymore ? In the first case, it would be nice if
you can provide more information. If you are in the second case, it's
another problem, should smtp client provides mail-transport-agent
virtual packages or not. Most of packaged SMTP clients provide
mail-transport-agent and few of them can handle local mail.
According to the policy each package which provides
mail-transport-agent *must* conflict and replace mail-transport-agent.
I was asked this feature for more than 1 year either by bug report and
by private mails. Most of users use this program on a laptop where
local mail (e.g. crontabs) doesn't care and if they *really* care they
can setup cron, debconf and probably other programs to send their mail
to a remote email address and not a local one.
Cheers.
