Package: lintian Version: 2.5.78 Severity: wishlist Please check for packages that have a relationship with the virtual package mail-transport-agent but do not prefer the virtual package default-mta to m-t-a or any other packages.
In other words, default-mta and mail-transport-agent should only ever be in a set of alternatives, must both be in that set and default-mta should be the first package in the set. All of the fields representing relationships with binary packages should be checked: Depends Suggests Recommends Build-Depends* etc Examples of incorrect dependencies: Depends: default-mta Depends: mail-transport-agent Depends: default-mta, mail-transport-agent Depends: exim4 | mail-transport-agent Depends: exim4 | postfix | mail-transport-agent Depends: exim4 | default-mta | mail-transport-agent Examples of correct dependencies: Depends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent Depends: default-mta | exim4 | mail-transport-agent Depends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent | exim4 -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
