Bug Description

Binary package hint: logwatch

attempting to install logwatch requires the installation of exim4 and a number of related packages even though another mta is configured/installed with esmtp. If postfix is installed logwatch will install correctly without exim.

Basically the error/bug/situation here is that esmtp should be considered an acceptable solution as an mta and not only postfix, exim or sendmail.
