	What do people this of _this_ idea?

I don't like it.  Package selection is an awkward way to do system
configuration.  Answering questions during the install and/or editing
/etc/athena/rc.conf is a less awkward way to do system configuration.

Is there something wrong with letting the athena startup script ensure
you're using the right method to send mail, as suggested in
linux-dev:[2625]?
