Public bug reported:

RFC 3834 recommends the use of appropriate Precedence and Auto-submitted
headers for programs that automatically respond to email.  While the
debian/ubuntu version of vacation looks for both these headers (at least
as of 3.3.1), it generates neither of them, leading to unnecessary
processing for other mail systems as well as spurious responses to the
vacation auto message.   This feature was asked for in the same bug
report that led to the check for the Auto-submitted header, but appears
to have been overlooked (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496916).

This bug effects all supported versions of Ubuntu (including Jammy
Jellyfish).

The provided patch was made against vacation-3.3.3

If it would be more appropriate to report this bug to debian, please let
me know.
