I cannot see why any MTA should conflict with mailx which even has
"Priority: important" which means according to the Debian Policy:
"The important packages are just a bare minimum of commonly-expected and
necessary tools."

So as mailx can be expected to be able to be present there's no reason to
workaround this (other packages would probably stumble over this, too)

Try finding the cause of its removal, most likely your qmail package does
not have a "Provides: mail-transport-agent" field...

When you find the reason tell me then I reassign the bug report to this 
package, else I will close the bug report in a week or so.
