Steve - it is a server package for hosting a web key server, it's
entirely reasonable for it to depend on a mail transport agent. A WKS
server, upon uploading a key, sends confirmation emails to the UIDs in
the key, before publishing it, so that it only published keys with
consent.

It's problematic that it was installed by default, and I'm fixing this
here and in Debian by doing the restructuring I did. This is not optimal
for people upgrading without quirks (i.e. Debian users especially) but I
don't think breaking the wks server to make upgrades without quirks
nicer is a better choice.
