So effectively:
- the quickml package has been unusable out of the box for at least 4 years due
to a missing dependency
- a bug was filed 3 years ago, but no one cared enough about the impact to
escalate it before now
- the package also (apparently) depends on the existence of /etc/mailname at
** Changed in: quickml (Debian)
Status: New => Fix Released

You are right Timo, and I completely overlooked that even Debian policy and
Developer Reference also says that /etcmailname is used by applications to know
the FQDN of the host.
Ref:
1.
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch06.en.html#_the_mail_address_configuration
2.
at least exim4-config postinst creates /etc/mailname
https://wiki.debian.org/EtcMailName
so I don't think removing it on purge is right, as it doesn't care if
another package would still need it

This bug was fixed in the package quickml - 0.8-1ubuntu1

quickml (0.8-1ubuntu1) oracular; urgency=medium
* Fix quickml failure to install. (LP: #1921914)
- d/control: Add runtime dependency on ruby-thwait.
- d/postinst: Create /etc/mailname if it does not exist.
-
Hmm, one thing that a test build in oracular shows is that lintian
complains about the package depending on lsb-base, which is now an empty
transitional package. It appears the only reason it depends on it is for
the init-script in debian/quickml.init and there's no equivalent systemd
package.
Confirmed on all noted series; targetting accordingly. I was a little
nervous about rm'ing /etc/mailname in the postrm, but an apt-file search
confirms nothing else seems to own it (if something else owned it, it
might be better to create things like this in postinst, and just leave
them there in
** Description changed:
[ Impact ]
quickml is completely unusable as it will even fail to install when
attempted.
