Please have a look at Debian bug #508644 [1] Where the solution of depending on default-mta instead of (exim4|postfix|...) is discussed.
Please note that the Debian policy manual (section 7.5 [2]) says: "If you want to specify which of a set of real packages should be the default to satisfy a particular dependency on a virtual package, you should list the real package as an alternative before the virtual one." default-mta isn't a set of packages, so it's not at all relevant.
