It looks like the current behaviour is by design: you won't get any
notification by default if you just install smartmontools unless you
also install a working mail system where you will receive emails to
root@ (eg. by following the Suggests metadata). smart-notifier is a
separate package which you can opt-in to using by installing it
directly. It is true that it won't be pulled in by default, but this
seems to be a design decision in smartmontools. If you need smart-
notifier's functionality, it's necessary to install it directly.
If there's a bug in smart-notifier then as Miriam says that's for
separate bugs to represent. For _this_ bug then, I don't think there's
any action to take so I'm marking it Won't Fix against the development
release.
If you disagree, feel free to comment and reopen this bug and we can
discuss further.
** Changed in: smartmontools (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
