[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#863718: libsbuild-perl: please do not recommend a mta

Package: libsbuild-perl
Version: 0.73.0-4
Severity: normal

libsbuild-perl Recommends: exim4 | mail-transport-agent

This seems excessive as I suspect most people use sbuild to build
packages locally and don't need it to send mail.  Please consider
downgrading it to a Suggests.

The dependency should probably also be moved to the application that
will actually send mails (either sbuild or buildd) to be easier to
discover.
