mailx is not a registered virtual package name in Policy.  It sounds like
it should be?  If unrelated packages should know about it for
dependencies, I don't think it meets the "private use among coordinated
packages" exception.

(This doesn't change anything that you're saying about logcheck, just
implies that there's also a Policy bug.)
