Comment(by broder):
 Hmm...why are we explicitly using msmtp? That seems like we're clearly
 ignoring a sysadmin's decision of what MTA to use.

 Can we come up with a way to use /usr/sbin/sendmail instead?

 My best idea so far is switching the dependency on debathena-msmtp-config
 to depending debathena-msmtp-mta | mail-transport-agent, but if there's
 already a mail-transport-agent installed, that doesn't quite provide the
 impetus to install debathena-msmtp-instead.

 intact.
