Thanks for your bugreport. Yes this is correct, esmtp relies upon a
MDA for local mail delivery. However in my opinion I think it would be
better to move it to Recommends instead of Depends, as there is still
a choise if someone want's to use another MTA for doing local
delivery. We have currently in the README.gz the following:

  <<esmtp>> relies upon a Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) for local mail delivery, so
  you need one if you want to avoid having another MTA for local delivery.

I will move the alternate choice for the MDA from Suggests to
Recommends.

Many thanks for your suggestion,
Bests
