I do understand your concern, but the default backupninja configuration has mail reporting enabled, so we really need to have mailx or mailutils installed by default along with backupninja. Moving this line to "Suggests:" would break any new backupninja package installation. Maybe a compromise - though I'm not sure it's really clean policy-wise - would be to: - downgrade "mailx | mailutils" to be a Recommends. As apt and aptitude now install recommended packages automatically, most users will get a working setup out of the box. On the other hand, one would be allowed to have the backupninja package installed without any mail stuff. - add a note to the package description, in order to explain that "mailx | mailutils" is really a requirement in the default config; else, we'll get tons of bug reports for broken default configuration from people who have disabled recommended packages auto installation Micah, any thoughts on this? I'm sure there's a cleaner way to achieve this, but I don't manage to guess it.
