You can try your luck and reassign the bug to libmailtools-perl, but
IMHO it's unlikely that it would qualify as a security-update :-P  In
fact since Mail::Mailer is fully usuable without Net::SMTP::SSL for
methods other than 'smtps', making libmailtools-perl depend on
libnet-smtp-ssl-perl can be seen as controversial, as it seems to
contradict Debian Policy section 7.2:
