Package: msmtp Version: 1.2.4-3.1 Severity: normal After the ITP for msmtp, there was some discussion about what an MTA is and the general consensus was that a package that provides mail-transport-agent should also install a /usr/sbin/sendmail . (see the thread at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/10/msg00519.html ). Also, debian policy explicitely requires a newaliases command (section 11.6).
Since msmtp does not provide these files, it also should not Provides: mail-transport-agent . Also notice that if msmtp provides mail-transport-agent, it will not be possible to install it along with postfix/exim/etc. since these packages also conflict with other mail-transport-agent's. So, it'd probably be better to have a separate package (depending on msmtp) providing mail-transport-agent and the required binaries - sort of like the packages esmtp and esmtp-run.
