mail-transport-agent-dependency-does-not-specify-default-mta

This package has a relationship with the mail-transport-agent virtual package but does not specify the default-mta as an alternative.

default-mta and mail-transport-agent should only ever be in a set of alternatives together, with default-mta listed first.

Please add a "or" dependency on default-mta before mail-transport-agent.
