At one point this was recommended by one of our guides.. mail-transport-agent is a good example of that policy. IMHO it turned out to be a bad idea, look at the package file, there is a mismash of foo | mail-transport-agent, some packages even still seem to use smail! These days I'd just as soon not bother with the |. APT and dselect both select the highest priority package of all providing packages to automatically install.
