The FAQ (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-software.en.html#s-qmail) talks about several software in 5.11 (qmail, djbdns, etc. However, their statuses have changed compared to 2008. - Currently, qmail is available in wheezy (oldstable), jessie (stable), stretch (testing) and sid (unstable). https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=qmail&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all I suggest to update this data. - The paragraph talks about ezmlm-idx. The case is more complicated: it exists only in experimental but some replacements exist (mlmmj or Enemies of Carlotta). I suggest to not change the current information. - Currently, djbdns is only in sid so I suggest to update the current information. There is a patch attached to this bug report. It's based on the webpage.
