Bug#750755: libmime-lite-perl: nullmailer and mail-transport-agent should be in suggests rather than recommends

[Stanislav German-Evtushenko]

Package: libmime-lite-perl
Version: 3.030-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

libmime-lite-perl installs nullmailer or mail-transport-agent by default as
it is in recommends. It seems not a proper behaviour.

For example, if I install apt-dater-host it installs imvirt (Recommends),
imvirt installs libimvirt-perl (Depends), libimvirt-perl installs
imvirt-helper (Depends), imvirt-helper installs libmime-lite-perl (Depends)
and libmime-lite-perl installs nullmailer or mail-transport-agent
(Recommends).

So if I install apt-dater-host it also installs nullmailer or
mail-transport-agent and asks to configure SMTP host which is not required
for apt-dater-host to work.

Best regards,
Stanislav
