Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.85
Severity: normal
Also, please reduce the certainty from certain. It's not.
I'd just noticed depends-on-mail-transport-agent-without-alternatives. I
mainain approximately 10% of the packages affected by the check (3 of 33) and
in all those cases the check is wrong. A cursory review of some of the others
clearly show it's incorrect for them as well (at least 10). I don't think a
check with a false positive rate of a minimum of nearly 50% is that useful.
In the case of my three, they depend on postfix without alternative becuase
they are only for postfix.
