Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.85.5
Severity: normal

apt-listchanges recommends exim4 | mail-transport-agent.  However,
apt-listchanges works perfectly well when just displaying the list of
changes to a pager at install time, and only needs an MTA if mailing the
list of changes elsewhere.  Please consider downgrading the dependency
to a suggestion, to avoid pulling in an MTA by default (since recommends
now get installed by default).

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
